This video delves into the Romanian ZB-30 light machine gun, an evolution of the renowned ZB-26. It highlights how the ZB-26's fixed gas system struggled with heavier ammunition, leading to the development of the experimental ZB-27 with an adjustable gas system. Romania adopted this improved design in 1930 as the ZB-30, acquiring both Czech-made guns and manufacturing licenses. The video showcases two ZB-30 examples, one Czech-made and one Romanian-made, pointing out improvements over the ZB-26 like enhanced barrel latch security and a rear monopod socket. The Southern Iceland Shooting Association assisted in filming these historical firearms.
