Any idea what color these are? I have a figure that is the loader for the LMG, and he has an ammo belt draped around his neck. Not sure how to paint it. |

They're essentially brass, with black disintegrating links holding them together. |

It's not disintegrating link. So you would have a belt of just the link on the right of the weapon as well if your figure shows that |

They are zinc or zinc alloy and they are not disintegrating links. paint them medium grey. |

The bullets are brass, the link bit is pretty thin. I usually just paint ammo belts brass. |
