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 &#8211; 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) &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/light-machine-guns\/swiss-lmg25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.forgottenweapons.com\/light-machine-guns\/swiss-lmg25\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we will be featuring all Swiss weapons here at Forgotten Weapons.
