No brass or ammo, Sir!

some were made with titanium drive gears due to they melted them at full speed... The majority of them are set to 3000 RPM from factory...

Most are now using links. Less likely to jam.

No it isn't Rick. The shotgun is pretty quick as long as the magazine is loaded. That has a 4 round magazine under the barrel and then one in the chamber. The musket is alot slower. 1 round every 20 seconds.
