This review of the Ultimax 2000 prototype, presented by Miles V. and Scott (Machine Gun Dad), offers an in-depth look at its improvements over previous models, including a welded Picatinny rail, side-folding stock, and M16 magazine compatibility. The analysis highlights both functional enhancements and critical design flaws, such as the problematic cross-bolt safety and stock interference, providing an expert perspective on this unique firearm development.
The Ultimax Mark II, designed by Jim Sullivan, features a revolutionary 'constant recoil' system that significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb, allowing for exceptional stability during full-auto fire. While its proprietary 100-round drum is effective, adaptations for STANAG magazines proved problematic due to wobble and reliability issues. The Mark II's fixed barrel could overheat, a flaw addressed in the Mark III's quick-change barrel system.
