This video delves into the history and development of the Vickers 'K' machine gun. Originally designed by Berthier as a potential replacement for existing machine guns, it was ultimately unsuccessful in British trials, losing to the Czech ZB-26. Vickers then repurposed the design for aircraft use, increasing its rate of fire. The gun gained notoriety for its adoption by the SAS and LRDG in North Africa, where its high rate of fire was advantageous. The description also mentions its adoption by the Indian Army as an infantry weapon and references available merchandise and Patreon/Floatplane channels for further content.
