This video from Armament Research Services (ARES) delves into the rare Korsac EM-1, a British/Polish bullpup light machine gun developed between 1945 and 1947. It was based on the German FG-42 paratrooper rifle and chambered in 8mm Mauser. The EM-1 featured a magazine adapted from the ZB-26 and a unique operating mechanism with both open-bolt automatic and closed-bolt semi-automatic fire. While only two prototypes were built, and only one completed to firing condition, the development of the EM-1 influenced the later EM-2 rifle. The video highlights its design, historical context, and a brief mention of reliability issues.
