warning about Browning machine gun ammuniton

The cordite that was good enough for ground pounders was not ideal for aircraft use. Cordite has a significantly more visible flash than granulated double-based powders. Lighting yourself up like Christmas with your own muzzle flash is a bad enough look: Blotting out your own night-vision with the "brilliance" of your own gunnery is absolutely NOT a good idea.

old tanker-- Great video on the different types of belts. I wonder of the German DM1 metal belts would work if the belt was fitted backwards to the cartridges. The spacing appears to be about the same and not as close as the Browning MG. Has anyone tried this?

I do not know. Metal Maxim belts, like for the PM 1910 work fine. Conversions to the Vickers to shoot 7.62x54R are one answer to a shortage of good surplus .303.
