Belt feed machine gun .. i.e. Matrix APU.

Hi, I am just curious if anyone could share a few ideas on how I might setup
a belt-feed machinegun in Maya, where ammunition is fed into a machine gun
on a chain, bullets are fired and spent casings are ejected. I can figure
out how to do the casings and bullets using particle systems but how would I
do the moving bullet chain. can I do it with objects on a path? remember I
need to control the movement based on firing so its not a continuous
movement. (I am thinking similar to the excellent work that ESC did with the
"APU" machines in the Matrix Revolutions ...

any ideas or pointers would be much appreciated.

cheers gary.
