I have great admiration for Kelgren, who is not afraid to go in original directions, starting with a clean sheet of paper. Not all of his designs have been spectacular hits, but there is no denying his creativity.
Now, before all the haters jump in, the PMR-30s built in the last couple years do not have the problems associated with the earlier output. And you can’t shoot 30-grain 22WMR. Otherwise, they run great today.
Watch this video, 90 rounds in 25 seconds from a PMR-30.

Impressive.
That gun has got to make it to the movies before too long. A real normal looking gun that you can shoot 30 times in a row unlike the S&W model 36 which I saw fire 10 without reloading in an episode of “Smallville”.
I actually saw Roy Rogers and Dale Evans say on their show that they did not intentionally shoot 15 times without reloading. It was usually the result of editing and splicing film without really being careful.
He said they were really turning them out fast (movies that is) not ammo.
For later.

The price on the PMR-30 has come down to very reasonable. A farm store over the pass from me always has a couple on display for sale. There used to be a waiting list.

I know a guy who got a tour of one of his personal SUV’s a few years ago. Armor, tires, and...an automated belt fed minigun that pops out of the roof.
For real.
He’s one guy you don’t ever want to mess with.
