Darne 1933 (7.5 mm)

Description

The Darne 1933 is an interwar machine gun used by the French air force, and is in most ways a predecessor of the MAC 1934. It fields the same characteristic trade of low per-bullet stopping power for high fire rate and is about equal in lethality to its successor, only really lacking the resistance to jamming and a little extra accuracy compared to its heir.
