This video from the Royal Armouries features Curatorial Assistant Joe Ford discussing the Beardmore-Farquhar, a British light machine gun designed to be lighter, cheaper, and more efficient than the Lewis Gun. The video details the LMG's unusual gas-spring system, its trials between 1916 and 1931, and the reasons for its eventual failure to enter service. The content includes a look at early trials, the troubled 1921 trials, a disassembly of the weapon, and later design iterations.
