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.
