Kind of like Shark Week, but more land-locked. We&#8217;ll kick off today with a video showing you around a Swiss LMG-25 light machine gun we found for sale at Cornet &#038; Company in Brussels (a better gun shop than any I&#8217;ve found here in the US, I must say). Like pretty much all Swiss arms, it&#8217;s a gorgeous example of precision machining &mdash; and like pretty much all Swiss arms it was too expensive for anyone else to adopt. On this, as with other Swiss weapons I&#8217;ve handled, you can just feel the quality in how smoothly the moving parts operate.<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re wondering, this LMG25 is live and fully functional, and priced at 1950 Euros (about $2800) &mdash; mere pocket change compared to machine gun prices here. It&#8217;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.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&#038;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbVFyTFdaV0hVcnU4WXQ0Mml2Y1Y2cHd2Sm95d3xBQ3Jtc0ttSGJlYXdQY1lqanZad3ZNd0s0ZVdha0pHUDM3RVlob05yMWhoRktHX1hjYzIyM25PdlNPa1J5VVZoc18yUGlpWi1mSzhBaGpPR2RTWkU4VDZkM2JkVzI4SkVNWEVqSmxyZTNEeVhUSWdRb3hzeF85RQ&#038;q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.forgottenweapons.com%2Flight-machine-guns%2Fswiss-lmg25%2F&#038;v=pD3o1KkLeiM\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/light&#8230;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"270\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-82177\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/quotulatiousness.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Screenshot-2023-05-17-at-08-23-38-Swiss-LMG25-light-machine-gun-Quotulatiousness.png 854w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forgotten Weapons Published 23 Jul 2012 This week, we will be featuring all Swiss weapons here at Forgotten Weapons.
