The VMG 1927 is a light machine gun designed by Heinrich Vollmer in 1927.

In 1916 Heinrich Vollmer began working on a design of a light machine gun.

[3] It operated on the principle of short recoil with a rotary locking mechanism for the bolt, carried by helical grooves.

It was offered to the German ordnance board (Inspektion für Waffen und Gerät - IWG) but, after testing, it was not adopted for service.

[2] Two examples are known to exist, one is at the Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung Koblenz and the other at the Vojenský historický ústav Praha.
