I've read the other threads regarding the AW-SIM set up and have a few questions. I'm interested in feedback from those who have actually fired a semi 1919 on their AW-SIM. First, what kind of bullet dispersion are you getting at the 100-200 yard range? What type of tripod are you using? With my Mg42 AA tripod/Crankfire set up I'm getting a 8-15+foot verticle bullet dispertion, which seems a bit excessive, to me. Part of the problem is the cranking action required to operate the crankfire, this causes severe muzzle movement.
IF!! The AW-SIM set up only moves forward and back this may remove the dispersal problem. However, I've heard the gun jumps around allot anyway, and this may not solve my dispertion problem. Any thoughts? And yes, I will probably be considering a Bren, or MG34/42 Ground mount, if the AW-Sim doesn't do any better!
I've also read in the other posts that the AW-SIM didn't run that long in their video. I only have webtv, and couldn't watch the video to determine if that was due to a short belt or malfunctions. Will it run with a 200 rd belt non stop? Also, where, and how, would you mount a ammo can holder to the leftside frame of the AW-SIM mount? Would this keep the mount from recoiling properly, or would it be ok?
I'm just looking for solutions to better accuracy for my semi-1919. I like the look and operation of the AW-SIM, if it will cut my bullet dispertion at least in half I'd be more than happy!
I hope all my questions are taken in the manner I posted them, I'm just curious, and looing for specific answers. I'm not trying to "slam" or "diss" the AW-SIM folks or product.
I think the thing's neater than all get out! I just want to know if it's the solution to my problem before I lay out the cash.
So all you AW-SIM owners, give me some feed back from your firing experiences!
Thanks
