556 Linked Ammo Belt

thingiverse

I had some old fired linked 556 brass that had been run through a M249 SAW. I thought I would try and make a printable version for my kids to play with. The first version was "print in place" and fully spec to the real thing. While it would hold real ammo, it was too flimsy to hold up for play. I then designed it where the round would stay in place, but could fully move around on the links. While this worked I found it didn't need to be this way, so I made it more of a solid piece. I printed this at .16 with four linked together. I have included a single, 4, and 16 round belt. The last round will still have the indentation so it can be clipped to another belt.
