I heard somewhere it was a metal belt and that it was easier to use because it fed better but it was heavier

Murph, The belt is made of stamped sheet Metal and it is in link strips containing slots for 50 round each, belts can easly be linked together to make a belt however long you want it to be.

Like Hell I would give you Crap Murph

well I have never heard that! Possibly on an MG.08 (maxim) or a MG13 or 15 but I doubt that too. so where did you hear that I'd like to send that person a nasty letter (he he)

LOL

actually it was on the History Channel. i believe they said something like:

"the less durable leather belt used for German Machineguns early in the war was soon replaced by a light steel belt."
