American 180 machine guns use a magazine system that incorporates a detachable hand-wound spring device to rotate the drum on a steel plate which brings the rounds within the magazine in-line to feed into the gun. This is a very fast-firing (1200 rounds per minute) machine gun. This gun was professionally serviced by E & A machine and test fired with a timer indicating the rate of fore and the dependability of function (no stoppages), and a print-out of this is included with this gun. This gun has a horizontal foregrip, one steel pan magazine, and one winding mechanism. It also includes a Tacticon rear sight on a top rail which provides various crosshairs in either red or green color as the user desires. The sights are at a high profile in order to be above the pan magazine when it is emplaced on the gun. There is a knurled knob at the underside of the receiver which allows for the removal of the barrel. This is a nice feature as it allows this gun to be disassembled for ease of transport in a very compact package and also makes the parts more accessible for cleaning. Cocking handle is on the left side, safety on the right side. Selector switch is a push-button reminiscent of the MP43/MP44.
