What you're telling me is we need to make RPD links out of a material that will disintegrate, correct?

Nope, that's incorrect. RPD links and M27 links are both made of sheet steel. It's the configuration of the links, and how they interface with the RPD and M249 feed systems, which are quite different.

That's a minor ED (Engineering Drawing) detail, that the M&P (Material & Process) team will deal with.

That's very easy to say. In fact, it's exactly the same (unsubstantiated) claim that others here have made over the last several years.

I'm not from Missouri, but I do subscribe to their state motto. Until somebody proves (or at least provides convincing evidence) that it can be done, I'm going to remain skeptical.
