This video from Forgotten Weapons explores the unique August Coenders 9x19mm belt-fed machine gun. Designed by an independent German arms designer, this weapon was likely intended for vehicle use due to its compact nature and ammunition choice. Despite its innovative design, the German military showed no interest. The example seen was captured by American troops, missing its barrel and feed cover, and was subsequently restored at Aberdeen Proving Grounds. The video showcases the firearm's condition and historical context, filmed thanks to a Maltese arms collectors association.
