This video explores the rare German MG 08/18 machine gun, a late World War I development aiming for a lighter, air-cooled alternative to the MG 08/15. The presenter highlights its reduced weight due to the air-cooled barrel and lighter components, noting that only a few hundred were produced before the war's end. It's also mentioned that the 08/18's barrel jacket influenced the design of the MG 34 shroud. The video acknowledges the rarity of the firearm and thanks the owner for access.
