This video delves into the history and evolution of the MG-15, a flexible machine gun initially designed for Luftwaffe aircraft in the 1930s. The description highlights its technical features, such as its short recoil action and 75-round drum magazine. It also details its transition to infantry service during World War II due to the obsolescence of its original caliber against improving aircraft armor. The video notes modifications made for ground combat, emphasizing its role as a stop-gap measure during periods of German arms production shortages. The MG-15 is presented as a precursor to other Rheinmetall/Solothurn designs, including the M30 light machine guns.
