Darne Model 1933: An Economic & Modular Interwar MG
This video explores the Darne Model 1933, a rare interwar French machine gun with a focus on its economic and modular design. Originally conceived as an aircraft weapon, it was developed by Darne, a company primarily known for shotguns. The design was modular, allowing for adaptation into magazine-fed and belt-fed infantry versions, as well as various aerial configurations. The example featured is an infantry model chambered in 7.5x54mm. The video highlights the gun's historical context, its adoption by the French Air Force and other nations, and thanks the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels for access.
