So, apparently some guy made a machine gun out of an electric drill. heres the link: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2009 ... chine-gun/ Somebody in the comments said it was a cam driven system. Although I do not intend on building one, i would still like to know how it works. can anybody elaborate on the possible workings of the gun?

Spooling the belt to feed is self evident but he's also using the rotational motion to chamber the round and cock the firing pin, much like a gatling gun.
