This video features a range test of the USMC Johnson LMG, a light machine gun adopted by specialist units like Paramarines and Raiders. The description highlights its use in Pacific island campaigns and by the 1st Special Service Force in Europe. While praised for being light and handy compared to the BAR, it's noted for significant muzzle blast, climb, and recoil despite firing the .30-06 cartridge. The content creator expresses enthusiasm for finally getting the opportunity to test this firearm.
This video delves into the unique web gear associated with the Johnson LMG, specifically a rare 12-magazine backpack. While the Johnson LMG saw limited WWII service, the US never officially issued web gear for its magazines. This particular backpack, likely originally intended for the Dutch East Indies Army, is a significant find. The video highlights its historical context and the challenges of fielding specialized equipment for less common firearms.
