Reminds me of that "Fully Automatic BB Machine Gun" that was in the works a while ago (IIRC one of their reps even posted about it here) but this one is actually in production.
It's expensive as hell ($550) but looks to be a quality machine based on the 98 design. Made by Tippmann, too.
Any thoughts?

sweet.... sure it is expensive but I really really like those belts... they cost just 10$
Reminds me of the mags used in the Anics series, though they are a continuous loop and cycled by the trigger.
The subject of this thread however can theoretically use belts as long as the user can afford, nice.

Ditto, has potential for a homebuild design.

Looks like a pain to reload though, took him 10 seconds to dump the 100 round belt. I get frustrated loading 12 rounds in the Monsoon mag
Not as cool but this conversion (basically a hopper and detent) is a damn sight cheaper, though it can't be used for pellets.

Can't argue with that. It's so tempting to build a beltfed gun with a simple electronic star gear indexing system, but even if I wanted to I couldn't. Given the caliber and intended ammo, an airgun like this is considered a firearm where I live. And therefore it's illegal for a citizen to manufacture a receiver himself. Even if I could, there's a 15 round cap on all forms of ammo feeding systems, belts included. Fun is outlawed in the People's Republic of New Jersey. At least they still let me put a bayonet on my shotgun.

Typical demonstration intended for the velocity mad US public, velocity figures given with no reference to pellet weight.
Assuming a medium weight 16 grain pellet (which it probably isn't), that's less than 11 foot pounds of muzzle energy for a velocity of 550 feet per second, not impressive in airgun terms (except of course you have 100 rounds + on tap!)
Also, the variation in velocity is quite dramatic, though of course this isn't intended for target shooting so it hardly matters.

It seems to be a design trade off, losing power for rof. Still very cool, and I could see a star eyed youth wanting this very badly. That target shooting demonstration is probably at a maximum range of ten feet. Loading the belt would be a royal PITA. From the pictures in the manual, the quick loading tool is two blocks of oak. Fancy fancy.
I could see someone with machining capabilities building something similar to this with the intent to bring power into priority. The Ajax Razorfang (previously posted) has not only the capability to adjust rate of fire, but they seem to be planning a less powerfull "international" model.
