With the limited ammo supply in this case, would it be feasible to splice the short burst segments together for a simulated "belt dump"?

10-15 bucks a bang would be my uneducated guess

I was hoping to see Ian practice some walking fire for this gun and we can always see it used daily as they're using it pretty successfully in the Ukraine!!! 🤠👍

The caliber is 12.7 x 108mm - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12.7×108mm and looks like currently it sells in the US for about $2.81/round https://ammomarsh.com/product/12-7x108-ammo-for-sale/
