The W+F FM25, also known as the LMG-25, is a legendary Swiss light machine gun developed in the 1920s by the Waffenfabrik Bern under Colonel Adolf Furrer.
Only 1 742 units manufactured with the rail for scope between 1939 and 1942.
Total of 23 045 units delivered between 1924 and 1946 without rail for scope.
Chambered in 7.5×55 mm GP11, the FM25 features a 30-round magazine, a sturdy bipod, and the ability to be mounted on a tripod for stabilized sustained fire.
Today, it is a highly sought-after piece among military collectors, symbolizing Swiss engineering excellence and serving as a major historical testimony of Switzerland’s defense strategy between 1925 and 1950.
