Might be misremembering, but think I watched a video awhile back with some of those in game and the British museum guy said they got phased out because they were unwieldy and would get caught on the sides of things as you were going around them.

>>973 That would actually make sense, specially considering how much warfare in the post ww2 world happend in jungles or urban enviroments. >>968 It is not the same thing anon.

>>973 I could see that. He doesn't have that many videos really. I'll try to go through some tomorrow and see if I can find it. >>976 Plus it's just fun to release a magazine and have it slide out under gravity. Gotta be faster than manually removing a clip by hand before putting a new one in.

>>977 Well, you could do the same with one of these SMGs, just turn it sideways slightly. The same cant be said about an owen or something like that though.

>>977 This is the video I was thinking of. Has a number of side-feeders in it, but I can't find any mention of why they stopped. Guess I either imagined it or saw it somewhere else. https://youtu.be/watch?v=J6P5TbWcnCs

>>979 Oh. Yeah that makes sense. >>985 Sick! Thanks man.
