That's a no on that deadline, but I figure I could get it done in not too much more time. Not a hard deadline anyway, just for a demonstration, though I still feel like a fuckup for not getting it done.
Here's a German MG13 machinegun from the interwar/WW2 period, famously, it was given its designation as a means to obfuscate it towards inspecting authorities of the Treaty Of Versailles. Germany was not allowed by the treaty to develop new advanced small arms such as light machineguns and submachineguns, by calling this gun the MG13 they could insinuate that it's actually an older design from 1913 and not a new development at all (it was actually devised in 1928 or 1930, probably).
It's a closed bolt, 7.92x57mm short-recoil machinegun, with a tilting locking block, feeding from a 25rd box magazine. For a gun of its kind and era, I think it's pretty neat.
