Lambda/DCA GPMG

[DerDer]

As per the DCA facebook page, barrel production is underway. Would certainly go for an aluminium one myself, as the guts of ten kilos would be enough to lug around.

Small bit of progress. DCA have a video of the prototype. Should be out in 2025 if we are lucky.

 

 

Seems like they are prioritizing the L7A2. Nice if you pre-ordered one, the M240B/L will be taking longer.

My wallet says "no".

My back says "no" (maybe 20 years ago!).

But my mind says "do it anyway".

One of the more interesting projects for 2025. As you point out, it would very much be a heart rather than brain purchase.

The one concern I would have is that Lambda make their gearbox somewhat proprietary in its fit. One of the threads over at Arnies

mentioned the gearbox mounting holes as being different spec than the A&K 249 box in one of their MK48 variants.

It will be slightly proprietary, as its an internal magazine. Similar to the vfc m249, but with the choice to buy a jungle tin if you want an actual box mag. 

 

I just hope they get it right. 

As I have been involved in this from day one. 

Infact it's my GPMG that has been used for all the measurements and all my info I've gathered over the years for them to get it right. 

 

Yes there maybe teething problems to start. As theyre hoping to have the prototype finished soon, and a working video of it shooting in next few weeks. 

 

(And no, I'm not affiliated with Dave. But I was sort out to help by both him and lambda with this, as I built my own gpmg from scratch. Hence I know what's gone into this project.)

If you're gonna tease us like that you could at least wear a bikini.

Nobody wants to see that!, trust me.

Here's one of the top loading mag trials....

Hoooooooooly shit. ?

[Darkmikey22]

If you head to the British Forces image thread. 

I made a massive post about it. 

It's a long, but hopefully good read. And can see every little detail that went into it. 

 

And it's this detail going into this gpmg project above.

Spoken to Dave via email. Second prototype has been delivered and they're looking at December for deliveries
