Wow... what a beast.

I'm stunned by this one. Is anyone of you know this MG? I can't believe they were firing with this thing. I will have to come back to it to disassembled it in order to understand the engineering behind this MG.

It was used against aircrafts and onboard ships.

Impressive! For those who know well the Vickers, it weights the double.

Looks like a penguin!!

Perhaps it would be best to consolidate all the museums firearms to one dedicated thread?

That is absolutely gorgeous

That is a fine piece of mechanical art. It should be made a crime to have these destroyed or deactivated. The craftsmanship and attention to machined detail is not found in modern firearms.

Delayed blowback, hence the short barrel .

Missing the flash hider and also used by the Netherlands.

To answer few questions related to the MG and others. No, there is no tripod and usually, when some parts are missing on the weapon, it is because we don't have it.

Thanks for your input and links to other MG like this one!
