Lmg 25


The Leichtes Maschinengewehr Modell 1925 is a Swiss recoil operated light machine gun designed by Colonel Adolf Furrer of Waffenfabrik Bern in the 1920s and produced since 1925. It takes the 7.5 mm Swiss Service cartridge from a 30-round box magazine and has a cyclic rate of fire of about 500 rounds-per-minute.
The Lmg 25 is a recoil-operated gun with a toggle-joint action. The toggle breaks to the right side, rather than to the top as with the Luger Pistol. In 1957, the LMG 25 was replaced by the Stgw 57-Assault rifle.
