As you know, the belt gets hung on everything, it pulls trash into the action and or breaks, the boxes are bulky, ect. Sure, you can throw down 200 rounds without reloading, it has an advantage over magazines and even drums that are as bulky as the boxes for the saw. If they Surefire HCM is or ever will be reliable, think of all of the ammo you can carry as opposed to a drum or belt-box! It would need a quick change barrel, certainly.

Put a 200 round ammo box on the ground and stack seven 30 round mags next to it.
For an even more ridiculous comparison, put a couple of the SF 90 rounders next to the SAW pack.
Ammo feeding from a box or an assault pack does not, in fact, "get hung on everything."
People who carry ammo Pancho Villa style do not know what they are doing.
