Belt fed 22 legal in Canada?

Well I have no idea on whether a belt feed is legal for a .22, but a gatling gun is going to be classed a prohibited firearm regardless of it's caliber. Any thing that fires more than a single round with a pull of the trigger is prohibited, period.

I dont recall of any beltfed .22 caliber rifles, best bet in my opinion would be a 10/22 with a 110 round gsg drum and a bipod...

The Gun Dealer has it listed. No idea if it is in stock or what. Apparently by phone is the best way to reach them.

And yes a Gatling gun would be fine Aslong as it is like the original I think buddy up there is thinking of the mini gun that is full auto,Gatling gun on the other hand is not as if you move the crack an inch it only fires one round thus making it a semi-auto in the sense that your just "pulling the trigger" really fast,now if your thinking like a push button mini gun that's a no no in canada

That is incorrect. Galting style firearms are prohibited in Canada for two reasons
1. There is no definite trigger pull. Rotating a crank does qualify as a trigger. And,
2. The effortless ability to turn it into a fully automatic firearm. All you need is a motor and some duck tape and you have a machine-gun.

This thread has some of the details of why. It's not in the laws, but the RCMP have determined that any crank operated trigger mechanism violates the one-pull, one round rule. It falls under the same group of products as the Slide-fire stock. We can play this game all day, and I have been playing it in another thread, but It really isn't worth either of our time. If you are convinced there is no regulation, be my guest and bring your crank operated firearm into a police station and count the seconds before they charge you with unlawful possession and manufacturing of a prohibited device and the slew of other tack on charges they use to bully people into making deals and becoming criminals. If someone has access to the FRT system doing a search of Gatling guns may be helpful. If they are prohibited then it is because the RCMP considers them a machinegun. For reference below:
According to the Criminal Code, a prohibited firearm is:
a handgun that
has a barrel equal to or less than 105 mm in length, or
is designed or adapted to discharge a 25 or 32 calibre cartridge, but does not include any such handgun that is prescribed, where the handgun is for use in international sporting competitions governed by the rules of the International Shooting Union,
a firearm that is adapted from a rifle or shotgun, whether by sawing, cutting or any other alteration, and that, as so adapted,
is less than 660 mm in length, or
is 660 mm or greater in length and has a barrel less than 457 mm in length,
an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger, or
any firearm that is prescribed to be a prohibited firearm
If the Gatling gun (and it's variants and offsrping) are considered prohibited its because they have been considered to be fully automatic. It is not a handgun (obviously), It has not been altered below legal lengths (hopefully), and it is not prescribed to be prohibited. Therefore, if it is prohibited, it MUST be "an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger...".
Does that work for you?
Clam your titties
I asked a simple question, but since you got you back all up over it I will reply. You are correct but you are completely wrong as to why you correct.
Actually it is.
This is about the only correct thing in your statement
We can play what ever game you want, but you better know what your talking about first. Its worth my time if the only thing we get out of this is helping you know what your talking about and the laws about it.
I never said any such thing. Making things up is never the answer to win people over.
The RCMP have no say in it, it is prescribed as a prohibited device in the CCC
Irrelevant, it is not the firearm that is the issue here.
Nope not true, they is nothing saying they are fully automatic or any such BS
No it doesn't, because you fail at logic and it is prescribed as prohibited and is not a fully automatic firearm.
You really should read the law before you tell people what it is. And FYI here is the actual law that makes these prohibited:

Clam your titties. That's funny can I use that or do you have it copy writes? I have never heard that before super funny.

Yes well I apologize for the poor quality of my response. It was admittedly portly written and ever more poorly researched. However, regardless I your stance on my quality of writing I still did answer the base question correctly, even if I got there using speculation and vaguely recalling the portion of law mentioned. However if you read what I posted correctly you would see that the entire second half of my post was concerned with actual Gatling Guns, and not adding parts to semiautomatic firearms. If you read it properly you would very clearly see my logic is sturdy when it comes to determining whether or not Gatling Guns themselves are prohibted firearms. Unless I am mistaken Gatling guns and it's variants and dereivutbes are considered to be prohibted firearms, and the only way for this to be possible under current guidelines would be for them to be considered automatic firearms. While the trigger may well be considered a prohibted device on its own, ire moving it or somehow replaci it does not allow the base firearm to chane classification. A short pistol barrel is a prohibited device, but removing it and replacing with a marginally loner barrel will permit most guns to be upgraded to restricted class. Again, this may be speculation, but I doubt removal and replacement of the trigger mechanism on a Gatling Gun woul change it's classification. However, please do correct me I am wrong.
Also please do be kind; I am working off my phone this week which means my ability to conduct research is limited. I do not try I spread misinformation, but sometimes the loaf is half baked.
