This video explores the Praga I, an early Czech machine gun design by Vaclav Holek, developed in 1922. It's noted as a precursor to the renowned ZB-26 light machine gun. The Praga I features a blow-forward, gas-trap action and a wedge-locking system, distinct from the Vickers/Maxim toggle-jointed recoil operation. The filming was made possible by access granted from the VHU - Czech Military History Institute, specifically the Army Museum Žižkov in Prague, which houses this fascinating prototype and other exhibits.
