The Rimfire Report: The Miniature Tippmann Arms 1919 Belt-Fed Pistol

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report!  This ongoing series is about the rimfire firearm world and its many guns, ammunition types, and history!

This week we’re taking a look at another relatively obscure rimfire firearm with the Tippmann Arms 1919 belt-fed full-auto pistol. This year I was fortunate enough to be able to see one of these things in action at the first annual All American Machine Gun Shoot.
