M2 Browning Machinegun has almost an inch between where the round is loaded and where it is chambered. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb4GWulXVxg
Just a short GIF of the Kriss Super V and how dynamic weapon function is getting these days http://imgur.com/gallery/GpeEXny
In the case of the P90 the rounds are loaded into a maggazine that parrallel with the length of the weapon. Before a round is fired, the round loaded into the weapon, turned around right-a-ways, and then chambered. http://i.imgur.com/92wYE6m.gifv
The scout rifle you showed was a bullpup, not sure if you are familiar with them. Chances are, with the magazine being so close to the grip, that it is a small calibre round, probably closer to a pistol round. https://shotshowreviewsdotcom.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/iwi_us_tavor_sar_16.jpg
What I am trying to get at here is not that you are wrong. The point that I am getting at is that there are people who spend their entire lives engineering things. Just because we don't don't understand something, doesn't mean that it can't exist. It just means that we're not privy to the information of how it works.

Some just don't make as much sense when compared to modern LMGs (which is what they're obviously based on). Also, the Kriss Vector is one of my favorite modern firearms. Mechanically, it's a deceptively simple design though.

Yes, I am familiar with the m249. However, you are comparing a weapon that was designed in the 80s, with a weapon that was designed as if it was 100 or 200 years ahead of our current time. In this case I feel I must quote Arthur C. Clarke "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic". However I would argue that the weapons in destiny are not all that advanced. Lets look at the image you posted of the Tamerlane shall we. I believe the loading mechanism might not be too dissimilar from what we see in the M2 Browning Machine Gun, where an arm rides up to the feed tray and pulls the round down on the face of the bolt. In fact looking at the Tamerlane - B there seems to be more than enough space in the sloped area just behind the feed tray for just such a mechanism. If it doesn't like like an M249, then chances are it doesn't operate like an M249.

:et's also be fair that the reason there's almost a one inch drop on the m2 is because the round itself is one-half inch in diameter.

A fair point.
