From the Vault: WWII German MG15 Machine Gun
This "From the Vault" video from Brownells features Paul Levy and Keith Ford exploring the historical German MG15 machine gun from World War II. Initially designed as an air-cooled aircraft weapon, it was later adapted for ground support roles. The video details its transition, the addition of a water jacket to combat overheating, and its operational mechanics, including the unique "ram's horn" dual-feed magazine. Keith Ford explains its open-bolt firing system and impressive 1,000 rounds per minute rate of fire, achieved through a spiral collar mechanism.
