Mysterious 50cal machine gun

[yeetmahboi]

Hi people,

looking back on old posts on this forum, I stumbled across this pretty mystifying SACO machine gun, mentioned in this text discussing the STK 50MG (posted by @Abraham Gubler, who as I'm aware is no longor active here). Does any forum member have any recollection of such a device? Thanks.

Have you reviewed these two threads? Unfortunately a few attachments have been lost over the years.

I'm very interested in this myself.

I've seen it pop up a little bit in a few of the publications from skylancer-3441s collection of scans.

I will post what I've found in a few minutes or hours, currently looking for something.

But by little bit I mean little, don't get your hopes up too high.

Edit: I've attached most of the files, the last one I'm thinking of features even less but maybe someone who was there took some photos.

The first two are from IDR 12/1985, the last are from IDR 12/1983.

Btw as intriguing as this gun is I'm even more interested in this yet more elusive "lightweight 50 machine gun" by Ramo.

Edit 2: Attached information from IDR 12/1984.

Still looking for that other photo without much detail though. I thought I've seen one of the guns mounted on an armored car, or even more precise a Panhard VBL/Ultrav M-11 at one of these fairs, but maybe I'm misremembering.

Edit 3: Found the Ultrav pics in IDR 12/1985.

My gratitude to skylancer-3441 for putting all of this material online is hard to express in words.

But after hours of pretty much doing nothing else but looking for this pic I definitely need some sugar now.
Obviously there were tons of other interesting information which made progress somewhat slower can it could have been I guess.

Rattlesnek out.
