Negev 7: Israeli Scales up to a 7.62 NATO Machine Gun (Ad-free)
🕑 Added 2025-03-31 12:00:06 +0000 UTCThe Israeli Negev machine gun had a rather long development cycle, beginning in 1985 but not seeing final completion and issue until 1997. Once on the market, it proved to be a pretty successful weapon, used by the Israeli military and also a number of export client around the world. In 2012, IMI released an improved newer version, the Negev 7. This was made exclusively as a 7.62mm NATO caliber gun, as opposed to the original Negev which was only made in 5.56mm NATO.
Thanks to Sellier & Bellot for giving me access to this modern machine gun to film for you!

Ok, q for you, Ian. When you are filming at an ammo factory like that, do you have to pay for the ammo used in the video?

outFstanding! only I think the rate way to high. other than that such a cool design. real good. WOW! 7,6Kg "only"(for a gpmg it is!). that is much more handy.
