So yea, your finger would get tired though. @TURNz – an m16 has the option to fire either full or semi auto… So yea, your finger would get tired though.

I own one of these AM-15 uppers for a M16. I have had a lot of problems with malfunctions. I have tried several different ammunition manufactures of .22lr. I have contacted the manufacturer about jamming with no real help with the issues. I feel for $1800 it should work as advertised. I am very disappointed with this product.

I don't think it will be long before somebody produces this and offers it in the market place. I also think that this could be made slightly smaller on the bull-pup design. I think the auto is impressive but would like to see a semi-auto version produced as well. As stated, the 300 below process would go a long way to eliminate barrel problems. Personally I would like to have a 500 round capacity in semi-auto and you could stand off an army should it ever come to that. This would make a 12ga. obsolete for home protection but you would need a dustpan and brush to remove the intruder. I like the idea of small cal. weapons as long as you can make them an effective deterrent. After all, if someone breaks into your home, you have no idea what they're packing. Looking forward to updates on this little gem! A friend sent me the link and now we both want one. I don’t think it will be long before somebody produces this and offers it in the market place.

The fact that this is a very small caliber ( .22 ) does indeed minimize the problem but the problem remains a fact. The military has utilized multi-barrels to deal with high rate, high volume guns and drives them with motors to deal with misfires. This AM15 is certainly an impressive little gun and it appears that this idea could be extended to work with other small calibers such as 9mm / 40cal S&W etc. etc. Quick change replaceable barrel inserts and a battery powered drive may prove interesting additions to these little wonders of technology..

How do they work jams length of life on drums. Do you replace orginal M16 parts with parts supplied. Are they parts out of Saw. Is there any body out there that has one.

How has the manufacturer designed the barrel to prevent burnout? I've fired all manner of weapons, from sub-machine guns to .50 caliber guns, and all are prone to barrel burnout from excessive firing. The rate of fire of the AM15 seems almost guaranteed to cause barrel failure over time. Any thoughts on this one? I’m curious about the heat factor produced by such a high volume of rounds fired.
