    This machine gun camera uses a 16mm camera inside the cover. The camera his mechanically activated by a clockwork. The batteries are to illuminate the clock at the moment of the time picture.

    Bruh. Last night at about midnight, I thought of you and I pulled this channel up to watch a couple old ones. And now this barely 6 hours later.
    Welcome back. I hope you hang around a few. Cheers.

    Yay, a full force return!
    OK, not a gun, but imagine the police stopping you for some reason; "Please open the trunk sir" and trying to explain what it is.
    Looking forward for the next videos :)

    Super description of a device I knew nothing about.
    Before you educated me that is.
    I was a weapons tech air element CAF back in 69-72.
    We learned about quite a few obsolete systems/ equipment but your stuff is much more interesting.
    Other than bore scoping the 50s on a F-86 Saber up in CFB Borden. That was interesting.

    i have one of these. though mine does not that that very large knob/dila on the side. and missing the sites and the camera inside. Unforetunatly, they trained many to getthe bullets dead on opticl view sites, and that is nothing to do with Trajectory. and in the excited heat of battle, gunners would forget abut bullet-drop or tragectry and try and get the plane dead on… My father was in the Royal Australian AIr Force.

    GUN CAMERA SAFETY FILM
    PANCHROMATIC
    RELOADS FOR USE IN
    CG 16 CAMERA MACHINE GUN
    On a bright yellow sticker.
    Can’t find much info online about the gun or the film, thank you for this video,

      Send it to the museum so we can all see it and how it worked with the camera system they have.
      it is the small stuff that always gets lost and thrown out I find.

    I would have thought they would put the camera in the barrel since that would be where the gun was aimed at.
