So I was watching a video on the Forgotten Weapons YouTube channel I started wondering how I could build a full auto AR that fires from an open bolt instead of a closed bolt and make it feed from a belt that actually feed from mag well... Full auto open bolt part could be easy enough, just have a dropping sear holding the bolt in battery and have either a free floating firing pin that moves fully forward from the force of the bolt moving all the way forward into battery or just go with a fixed firing pin like a SMG, although that would require a safety like an SMG... Although with my idea for a side charging handle I could see it having to block both the trigger and the charging handle from fully strip a round... But then there's the question do I set it up more like a military rifle or more like a light machine gun and go with a longer and heavier barrel? I don't know why but I lean more often in video games I lean more towards to machine guns, who knows somewhere in my family history I could have some Russian in there, anyway, I'd be more apt to lean towards the light machine gun.
Anyway, any information would be really helpful and would be really appreciated. If this does end up happening I'll be sure to post pictures and videos somewhere, probably YouTube.
