This video from Forgotten Weapons explores an experimental Elbonian LMG built using Hakim rifle receivers and modified German MG-13 magazines. The design, developed in the mid-1950s during a brief partnership with Egypt, incorporated Israeli surplus MG-34 barrel jackets. Notably, the weapon remained semi-automatic. The video highlights critical design flaws, including the lightweight Hakim barrel's unsuitability for sustained fire and a poorly fabricated bipod made from RPD legs due to an inability to acquire MG-34 bipods. It also mentions available merchandise and Patreon/Floatplane links.
