Swiss LMG25 light machine gun

This week, we will be featuring all Swiss weapons here at Forgotten Weapons. Kind of like Shark Week, but more land-locked. We'll kick off today with a video showing you around a Swiss LMG-25 light machine gun we found for sale at Cornet & Company in Brussels (a better gun shop than any I've found here in the US, I must say). Like pretty much all Swiss arms, it's a gorgeous example of precision machining - and like pretty much all Swiss arms it was too expensive for anyone else to adopt. On this, as with other Swiss weapons I've handled, you can just feel the quality in how smoothly the moving parts operate. In case you're wondering, this LMG25 is live and fully functional, and priced at 1950 Euros (about $2800) - mere pocket change compared to machine gun prices here. It's not too difficult to get the permit to own it in Belgium, but sadly there is no legal way to bring it into the US. http://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-machine-guns/swiss-lmg25/
