This video showcases an extremely unusual experimental pre-WWI Ross .30-06 machine gun, a prototype submitted to the British War Office in 1914. While its Ross MkIII lineage is visible in the bolt and receiver, it features a long-stroke gas piston, an upside-down action, a 25-round magazine, and a thumbhole stock reminiscent of the Lewis gun. One example was tested in .303 caliber in the UK, while the .30-06 variant featured here was sent to the US for testing. The featured gun, from the Canadian War Museum's collection, offers a rare look at this obscure piece of firearms history.
