I don't know how many of you watch anime. I just got done watching Jin-Roh, and was somewhat curious about the equipment they use.

I'm aware that the armor is probably useless to some extent. The guns though, are somewhat interesting. The machine gun and its feed mechanism is of interest to me, and the main subject of this post. The ammo is in belts, I think about fifty rounds apiece. They are pulled out of a magazine carried on the back, and loaded into the machine gun. A sideways foregrip is held, and the belt drapes across the left forearm through a guide built into the armor there.

Anybody got any ideas on how well it would work?
