Good stuff.

I first read about the .30 caliber trapdoors in my brand new Fladermans 1973 edition.

It was my "wish" book when I was a kid!

Thanks Drydock!  That was a really nice video, but the MG34/42 video sure has me wishing you guys with all the cool toys would bring one of those to shoot! (I'll volunteer to help link ammo!)

Along the same lines I always wanted on of those Martini Henrys in 303.

Ira, we don't have an MG34/42, but we do occasionally have a gatling gun, and volunteers to load for it are always welcome!

I had the pleasure of shooting and helping reload the Gatling at the Muster (my first) just a few short weeks ago. A VERY NICE TOY for someone, who I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting yet, to share!
