Guy starts talking precisely when the gun fires. My god dude
-
how much did it cost and how many are in the USA ?
-
nifty
-
I hear tell it's amazingly accurate, like a fully automatic marksman's rifle. Even effective with a 6x zoom scope mounted on it.
-
Used to have this gun..... great uncle Harold brought it back from Guam ( he found it and disassembled it ), wish we still had it, he even shipped it part by part home, it took him 5 years!!!!
-
its chambered for 7.7mm. the type 3 was chambered for 6.5mm
-
This machine gun is a great with shooting and accurate, but those 30 bullets feed strips were kinda... stupid.
-
There is an oiler on he receiver that oiled the rounds as they were fed in. The owner of this T-92 would lube the rounds with wax and didn't use the oiler. The T-92 was a very reliable weapon as was the T-96 and T-99 LMG. The T-11, not so much but it's such a strange design that it's pretty cool in it's own right
-
type 92 heavy machine gun nice work
-
I don't know but if that "catcher" wasn't there I'm sure they would go a long way. They come out with a lol of force
-
How far can the empty cases flew? Just curious
-
The T-92 fires 7.7mm semi-rimmed ammo. Bob lubed the rounds he's shooting in the video, but there is an oiler on the receiver that would lube the dry original ammo
-
Also, do the rounds really need to be greased before firing? Thanks, and might I say what a cool piece of living history.
-
Is this chambered for 7.7mm rounds or 6.5mm?

@arisakadogs LMG means its fired not on a Tripod or in a fixed position. In a light rifle platoon there´s sometimes an LMG for example M240, MG3 or M249 (carried around and fired by a soldier only with the attached bipod). Light and Heavy is meant for the weight of the Gun not the Caliber

Pretty dang kool 'Dogs. Was Ronin present there (for ya to harass)?
-
@firelog1101 another good point.
-
@savage495 Not necessarily, HMG or LMG designation can be set depending on weapon configuration. For instance, both the german Mg34 and Mg42 could be configured to either LMG or HMG configurations(bipod or lafayette with accessories) depending on the circumstances.
