Portugal's MG-13: the M938 Light Machine Gun
This video delves into the mechanical operation of Portugal's M938 Light Machine Gun, also known as the MG-13. The MG-13 was an interim German machine gun from the 1930s, designed to be perceived as a WWI-era weapon. The video highlights its closed-bolt, magazine-fed, short recoil, and hammer-fired mechanism. It also showcases unique features such as an adjustable recoil spring tension and a folding stock. The M938 is fed by 25-round box magazines and 75-round double drums. The focus is on the gun's internal workings rather than its developmental history.
