SIG MG 710-3

[1] The SIG MG 710-3 is an automatic, air-cooled belt-fed weapon operated by roller-delayed blowback and fires from an open bolt.When a round is chambered pressure from the return spring drives the bolt and carrier assembly forward; simultaneously both rollers engage camming surfaces which drive the rollers outward from their compressed travel position into recesses in the barrel extension.The bolt assembly also contains the spring extractor, while a lever case ejector is located at the base of the feed tray.The SIG MG 710-3 is fed from the left side by either NATO standard disintegrating M13 (United States) or continuous link German DM1 belt, but only after swapping several parts in the feed block.When used in a light machine gun role, the ammunition belt is stored in a sheet metal container that has a 50-round capacity and is attached to the left side of the receiver.
