*I see this gun & INSTANTLY think of Death Wish 3* 4:26 well now I gotta see just how far the spring with spring that shit out of there, sounds like a Guinness spring record could be broken
I have had a Ramo Defense 1919 A4 full auto for 25 years it was built by Ohio Ordnance purchase price was $3000 with $200 tax stamp plus $200 for the dealer best money ever spent. I have shot 100k rounds from it once I had forgotten to check the breach had a round in the chamber for several weeks in my gun safe was very lucky didn't get shot these have no safety the trigger is the safety. I had been shooting with a friend who wasn't experienced with it left it up to him to check it and pack it back in the case. Wasn't until months later I took it out again pulled the cocking handle back a live round fell out. After that incident I actually put a label on the handle says check breech to remind me each time to check it carefully sometimes using a flashlight. I found another issue is if the extractor doesn't pull live round out gets stuck you don't know that pull the handle back not see a round if you let the cocking handle go could fire when the bolt hits the live round stuck in the barrel.
Sorry I’m late but if anyone is reading this, I’m curious as to how this machine seems to operate on a “belt” or metal links. So which one. Or can either be used.
Christian Martinez The one in the video is from Allied Armament. I don't think they are around anymore. Here is one that auctioned 4 years ago for 3700 dollhairs... www.rockislandauction.com/detail/62/1674/allied-armament-1919a4
The M1919 sucks. It fires from a closed bolt. Belt fed MGs are supposed to fire from an open bolt to avoid cooking off a round when the barrel get hot. And the M1919 does not use a quick change barrel, so it's going to get hot, fast. So basically, the gun is fine as long as you don't shoot it much. Swell.
Yeah, you’re right. It sucked so much that it only killed baddies for around 70 years, and from tripod, bipod, vehicle and aircraft fixed mounts, vehicle and aircraft flex mounts, and for you badasses, from the hip. And only around half the known universe used it at one time or another. All sarcasm aside, you are of course, quite correct. It doesn’t have a quick-change barrel, and it does fire from a closed bolt, which can predispose toward cook-offs. I wonder though, how often that posed a problem in combat. Any ideas on that?
Great presentation. For anyone interested, this machine gun was still in use in the Australian Army right until 2005.

How much did the controllability/recoil management was affected by the lack of a buttstock?
Been looking to get the semi auto while they are cheap.
So Awesome I Watched it 4 Times 😀😀😀😀🇺🇸👍🏼
I didn’t know it fired from a closed bolt. Or is that only the semiautomatic version?
All patterns fire from the closed bolt.

Can use both. Metal belt require a small plate to protect the gun from wear
