Marlin 7MG aka Model 1917 Aircraft Machine Gun
This video delves into the history and technical details of the Marlin 7 MG, also known as the Model 1917 Aircraft Machine Gun. Originating from John Browning's Model 1895 design, the Marlin-Rockwell corporation, under engineer Carl Gustav Swebilius, significantly modernized it with a straight gas piston and closed-bolt firing for aircraft use. The description highlights its designation by the US, subsequent revisions, and its limited adoption in light tanks at the end of WWI. The video acknowledges the scarcity of information on this often-underappreciated machine gun.
