I'm slightly puzzled here. When I was in the Bundeswehr, we sometimes
had to
link up practice ammunition for our MG 3 (aka MG42 to WWII gamers).
Linking
by hand wasn't nice, but we had a small hand-cranked machine. It looked
a
bit like an old coffee grinder. Feed in the belt from the side, drop in
the
cartridges from the top and crank away	The work went reasonably well
with
that. Does my memory fail me or don't your units have something similar
?
