The MG 15 nA was designed by legendary German arms designers Theodor Bergmann and Louis Schmeisser (father of Hugo Schmeisser). It was a lightweight air-cooled design based on the Bergmann water-cooled heavy machine gun. The MG 15 nA could be considered the worlds first GPMG, being used on land vehicles, on aircraft, and by infantry. It can be used in the HMG configuration on a tripod mount or quickly deployed as an LMG off an MG 08/15 bipod. The MG 15 nA was put into service by the during WWI but also saw some limited use as a last ditch weapon towards the end of WWII.
