Nevertheless it's a VERY nice development for internally-powered gas blowbacks! Wonder what they'll cost and if they'll be regular production items.
Those numbers honestly cannot be right. I mean come on, 200 shots vs 800, and a small bolt VS the huge chunk of metal and gigantic recoil spring on the MG42 cannot be correct.

Where did you get these numbers?
