no because the M249 wasn't invented until the late70s/early80s and purchased until the mid 80s

It isn't about when the gun was designed, it is about when the belts ere designed. A belt fed could be invented tomorrow and as long as it used belts of a pre 45 design, the belts would be unlimited.
Sadly, no 223/556 belts are pre 45.

A last day Shot Show Question
While you are still at the Shot Show today I have a quick question
Did anyone see any sources of 12.7 x 108 ball ammunition at the Shot Shot for the big beast I am offering for sale? Also use on the DSKH and NSV heavy machine guns which are Soviet counter part to the .50cal M-2 HB (not to be confused with 14.5 x 114 Soviet which is allowed in Canada in rifles such as the Soviet PTRS AT rifle with ball only, but not in the US where everything over 12.7 is a NFA DD)
I made a post about ammunition to answer a persons question however if anyone saw some offered commercially at the Shot Show this would help beyond the possible sources that I note. 12.7 x108 ball ammunition comes and goes As ball only, and under the $100 or $500 limit it could be brought in for personal use at the cost of shipping and duty and tax paid at the boarder
There are only 2-3 12.7 x 108 rifles that I know of in North America so its quite unique, even including a 3 digit serial number, but other sources of ammunition which come on the market from time to would help
Any Ideas, comments would be appreciated

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that gun laws have something to do with the use of guns by criminals.
That right there is why I was going to buy one. No 3 gun trigger, no purchase.
LOL. But seriously, imagine running a 3 gun course with that beast. It would be epic.

How does the semi-auto M249S work? Did they add a striker? I can see something far behind the piston and bolt carrier in the first picture with the top cover open. I guess they had to change that bolt and carrier assembly a lot to make it work.
