This video provides an in-depth look at the rare Colt CMG-2 light machine gun, developed in the 1960s as a companion to the M-16 rifle, aiming to compete with the Stoner 63 system. It highlights unique features such as a double-sided reversible firing pin, a fixed extractor on the bolt face, belt feeding with Stoner 63 links, and an innovative pistol grip charging mechanism. The video explains that the CMG-2 saw limited production and was evaluated by the Navy SEALs, ultimately not being adopted. Despite its potential for soft shooting, its awkward belt reloading and limited development led to the project's discontinuation. The video mentions the availability of an original Colt manual for download.
