Forgotten Weapons

Japanese Type 11 LMG Disassembly (2014x52)


Air date: Aug 04, 2014

http://www.forgottenweapons.com Theme music by Dylan Benson - http://dbproductioncompany.webs.com Thanks to the hospitality of the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, we had a chance to examine and disassemble a Type 11 light machine gun, chambered for 6.5mm Japanese. This is, of course, the very unusual hopper-fed design from Kijiro Nambu, which entered service in 1922. The action is largely derived from Hotchkiss guns, but the feed mechanism is unique to the Nambu.
