This video from Forgotten Weapons delves into the history and technical details of the German Parabellum 1914/17 aircraft machine gun. Manufactured by DWM under license from Maxim, it was a modernized variant of the MG08, featuring improvements by Karl Heinemann like an inverted lock and an integrated mainspring. Adopted by the German military for aerial use, it boasted a higher rate of fire than its predecessors. The video highlights its evolution through the 1913, 1914, and 1914/17 models, noting the latter's reduced barrel jacket diameter and telescopic sight. The scarcity of these rare firearms today is also emphasized.
