The mechanical engineering of that era of weapons always fascinates me.

Judging from photographs the typical defensive MG on German airships was the Parabellum, not the 08/15. They are both Maxim-type guns, but the Parabellum is a more highly evolved version of the type. Ransom

The mechanism...
.
... is well explained for all those "not gun nuts".  What is of special interest here, is the emphasis on the mechanical components and how they worked when firing the gun. You won't have a chance to see this in a museum. Other videoclips of this type are normally more interested to show us how a row of pumpkins is smashed by the bullets or how fast you can turn an old water/old oil barrel into a strainer... Very educative indeed. Thank you!  .
