Has no one asked themselves why a machinegun firing 950-1200 rounds per minute would have only a ten round magazine? It would be as useful as a single-shot rifle. The operator would have to change magazines after each squeeze of the trigger. Additionally, the gun was mounted inside the wings of some aircraft. Are we to believe that these guns had only ten rounds each?

Or you can READ the article and follow the wikilinks. The article clearly states ShKAS was a revolver-type machine gun. - Emt147 Burninate! 02:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Can you read the text that you discuss? Then:"fed by metal disintegrating link ammunition belt". Enough? This ammunition belt (russian word sounds "lenta") is equipped with hundred of rounds. Enough? And by the way: don't forget that it fired 1800 per minute (standart version), not 1200.
