The Leichtes Maschinengewehr Modell 1925 (shortened to Lmg 25)[1] is a Swiss recoil operated light machine gun designed by Colonel Adolf Furrer of Waffenfabrik Bern in the 1920s and produced from 1925 to the 1960s.[2] It was the first machine gun in the Swiss Army that could be carried by a man. It takes the 7.5 mm Swiss Service cartridge from a 30-round box magazine and has a cyclic rate of fire of about 500 rounds-per-minute.[3] In 1957, the LMG 25 was replaced by the Stgw 57-Assault rifle.
