Other Notes: The Leichtes Maschinengewehr Modell 1925 (shortened to Lmg 25) 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 gun features a toggle-joint action similar to a Luger (q.v.) although 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.
