One of the most important rifles used in NRA’s National Matches has been reunited with the family of a remarkable rifleman named Ben Comfort. And the rifle still really shoots.www.americanrifleman.org
I was re-reading the Wiki entry on the Wimmersperg SPZ-1 and they mentioned a machinegun he designed... Wimmersperg Maschinengewehr in 1937, a double-barreled, combined gas/recoil operated firearm fed from either magazines or a belt feed with 7.92×57mm cartridges — which was unusual for that the top barrel acted as a gas piston. The over/under barrels fire and reload vice versa. So an over-under machine gun where the top barrel was a gas piston. I cannot find any pictures nor even mention of this gun anywhere and I am intrigued.
