UK vz.59 Czech Universal Machine Gun: History and Mechanics
This video delves into the history and mechanics of the UK vz.59, a Czech universal machine gun. It highlights its development after the vz.52 family of firearms, its chambering in 7.62x54mmR, and its design features, including a pivoting locking block system similar to pistols and a long stroke gas piston. The video notes its limited international adoption but continued service in a modernized 7.62x51mm variant in its region. Thanks are given to Marstar for providing the weapon for examination and shooting.
