rapid fire reload

[ranger66]

The spring and follower are just unnecessary mechanical complication in my opinion. I'd much rather use my finger. For more detailed direction for parashooters chargers, see post 20 here: http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=8807&page=2

I agree, but still it isn't overly complex, and it has worked well since 1920 when it was introduced. In reality it's is nothing more than a single stack magazine with a release mechanism. But this was something that was made for the civillian marked. The armed forces never approved this model. The Parashooter design is very close to some models that was tested for the armed forces, among them the Hagen clip (after gunsmith Hagen). One of these was actually approved for the armed forces but it never went into production. (According to Hanevik's book).
