This video features a slow-motion examination of the Maxim lMG 08/15, an air-cooled variant of the Maxim machine gun used on German WWI aircraft. The specific example is configured as a Zeppelin gun, complete with a buttstock and pistol grip, distinguishing it from fixed-wing aircraft setups. It's noted to be missing original AA spider sights, using a standard MG08/15 top cover and rear sight instead. The demonstration includes firing the weapon using an inverted MG34 belt, a documented workaround from WWII.
