This video delves into the Schwarzlose M1907/12 heavy machine gun, the standard mounted MG of the Austro-Hungarian Empire during WWI. It highlights the gun's unusual unlocked, delayed blowback system, which relies on a heavy recoil spring and mechanical disadvantage for safe operation, aided by a cartridge oiler. The description emphasizes its underappreciated status today due to its compact and simple design, noting its continued use through WWII.
