In this video, I take a look at one of the rarer examples of the Vickers machine gun design: the .5-inch Mark V. A gun designed as the main armament on light tanks, this saw service at the start of the Second World War but was soon obsolescent and eventually declared obsolete in 1944 after service that included the Long Range Desert Group.
I also explain the development of the different Marks, including the Naval Mark III guns used in banks of four as anti-aircraft guns.
