Kameraden, Here are a couple of real short videos in battle of the new 2cm rounds made by Joe Swanson for us. The wads disintegrate so nothing leaves the bore but smoke (and lots of that)!
Once at an event I never even think of videos/pics etc, so these are just what we happened to get by chance. I still need to set up a controlled video and hope to soon. I also want to get a shot of it firing at night !
Our original goal when installing the Saiga 12 gauge into the 2cm receiver to use as our main gun, was to lay the Saiga on it's side so that we could feed magazines from the left side as originally done. We also wanted to build the modern Saiga magazine within an original 10 round 2cm magazine so it looked like we were actually loading it with the correct magazines.
Well all of that turned out of course, to be a major head ache to alter everything so much and would have made loading a real bitch as the breech must be open and locked to insert a new magazine and made clearing the weapon a royal pain too. So for now, this is what we have.
As with everything, we are always looking for ways to improve our vehicle and overall impressions. Part of the challenge and fun.
In these two vids we had no other vehicles or armor opposing us, so I was being pretty stingy with the rounds ($1.00 a piece) plus , originally of course 2cm were not necessarily used on Infantry in the open, but I would use it when they were dug in or in buildings .
Of course when we were presented with a large squad of GIs in the open we emptied all 10 rounds into them,,,,,why not !
