Schwarzlose machine gun in 8mm mauser. Oil pump inlet became plugged and gun started to stutter and finally stopped. Inspection later revealed dried gunk blocking the inlet hole.

gun relies of oil to assist in primary extraction, as the oil supply was chocked off from the clogged pump it began to slow down and eventually stopped because of it.

Sorry but that is the only video I have of it, maybe I can make another this spring if I have time. I have never seen a modern video of one being fired so I figured people would appreciate it.

@AUFSEHERlNNEN The m07/12 was a update version of the m07 and it was a custom in that time to call the guns de original name plus the last two numbers of the year in which they were updated.

Why is it called "Schwarzlose MG M.07/12"?

Are there two versions of the MG dated 1907 and 1912?
