Wow, i imagine that can is super heavy considering the way it slowed down the ROF

That's the coolest vid I've seen all day!

Lot's of blow-back, too.

Maybe not just the weight of the can, but the (muzzle)brake effect it has on the reciprocating assembly. Recoil is what cycles the gun.

Yea your right. Quiet riots shorty M2 has a crazy rate of fire

Not to sound like a jerk, but.... 1st off, you are supposed to fire a 5-7 round burst, I saw him, on what I like to call "feathering" the trigger & only shooting 3-4 rounds at a time, this leads to malfunctions on a 50 cal. 2nd, he could have put the timing nut higher on the screw, and that would lead to a higher rate of fire, to compensate for the can taking up so much recoil, but you would still have to head space the barrel, and use a timing gauge to make sure the weapon is safe to fire.

That's actually really interesting. Why are 5-7 round burst more reliable?

The butterfly trigger, is very heavy on the .50 cal. HBMG, its like a 10-12 lb trigger, maybe more. When you "feather" the trigger, what happens is that the sear is only, slightly engaged, and with all the recoil the gun makes, it causes the gunner to come off the trigger mid cycle, and it tends to cause malfunctions. If the gunner grabs the trigger like he has some balls and presses the trigger, and gos "All the way on, then all the way off" The gun tends to run better. Best way I can explain it.
