This video explores the Swiss Reibel M31, a variant of the French Chatellerault M24/29 light machine gun adapted for vehicle and fortress use. It highlights features like the absence of a buttstock and sights, a heavy barrel for sustained fire, and a 150-round drum magazine. The video details its post-WWII acquisition by Switzerland, rechambering to 7.5x55mm Swiss, and installation in AMX tanks. The specific gun shown is mounted on a Swiss LMG-25 tripod with an adapter for gunsmith testing, thanks to the Kessler auction company.
