This video delves into the M1944E1/M1945 Johnson Light Machine Gun, a development from Melvin Johnson's earlier Model 1941. The description highlights key modifications made to improve the weapon, including a monopod replacing the bipod, a stronger bolt anti-bounce latch, a metal dual-tube buttstock, and a significant gas-boosted hybrid recoil operating system. Despite being in testing at the end of WWII, budget cuts prevented it from replacing the BAR. The video also notes the transferability of the featured M1945, having originated from the Winchester Museum Collection.
