For testing Cloth could be used instead of metal links ...

For testing, it may be possible to use RPD belts.

That's what Cris Murray uses to feed the MG42 he converted to 7x46 UIAC. (Another cartridge designed specifically for LMG use, to lighten the 7.62 machine gunner's load.)

But, for use by the US Armed Forces, a disintegrating link would have to be developed, and although Grendel fans hate hearing it, there is no proof that a viable link can actually be designed.
