Light machine gun ZB-26 is an automatic fire-arm. The energy for the operation of the gun is furnished by the expanding powder gasses. The perfect locking of the mechanism at the moment the shot is being fire and the fixed, air-cooled barrel which can be easily changed are outstanding features of this gun. After the gun is fired and the bullet has passed the gas port near the muzzle, the live powder gases expand through the gas port into the gas cylinder setting into motion the piston which is connected with the slide.
Feeding is accomplished from a magazine holding 20 rounds in two rows placed vertically into the top of the receiver. Empty shells are thrown out down in a forward direction. After the last shot has been fired, the breech remains open allowing continuation of fire without manipulating the mechanism as soon as a new magazine has been inserted into the receiver.
