10/22 uses a magazine, not a clip.
Do the miniguns still use a 50,000 round ammo can?

I have a friend (Captain pilot of AC-130 Spectre or Spooky, can’t remember) who was in PANG in Afghanistan, and he/his wife gave me a 105mm howitzer shell casing and clip of 4 40mm cannon shells. Still have them. I don’t know what the minigun can capacity was. As fast as they fire, 50k was probably not near enough.

1500 rounds with the cardboard wafers between layers. Take out the cardboard, and one can link 2200 rounds continuous on one belt.
Kinda nice just to hook the end to the M60 and depress the butterflys...........'course you then need to flip the switch, shake out the barrel and insert another.
Fond memories.
