The Leichtes Maschinengewehr Modell 1925 (shortened to Lmg 25)[1] is a Swiss recoil operated light machine gun designed by Colonel Adolf Furrer of Waffenfabrik Bern in the 1920s and produced from 1925 to the 1960s.

The Lmg 25 was lighter than the water-cooled machine guns of the time, but was also more complicated design, making it difficult to manufacture and raising its price.

In addition to the bipod (front support), the mount served as a target aid and enabled more precise firing groups at greater distances.

In order to use the weapon in fortifications, the front bipod was removed and a bracket was attached in its place, which enabled shooting from the openings.
