This video provides an in-depth look at the AMELI, Spain's 5.56mm light machine gun adopted as the MG82. Developed by CETME, it features a fascinating roller-delayed blowback system, drawing visual inspiration from the MG42 but with its own unique mechanical simplicity and light weight. Despite its intriguing design, the AMELI suffered from a reputation for fragility and limited adoption, seeing service in Spain, Mexico, and Malaysia in small numbers. The video highlights its comparison to the CETME-L rifle and its eventual replacement by the H&K MG4 in Spain. The reviewer expresses gratitude to DSA for the opportunity to film and disassemble the weapon.
