Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel: A WW1 Phantom
This video delves into the Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel, an experimental Austrian machine gun from World War I. Despite its inclusion in the Battlefield One game, information is scarce, limited to three archival photographs. The presenter extrapolates its features, identifying it as a water-cooled, pistol-caliber weapon capable of using both stick magazines and drums. The weapon is believed to have never progressed beyond initial firing trials, with no surviving examples known.
