The Mk2 bolt contains a spring extractor and casing ejector. The weapon's non—reciprocating
cocking handle is located on left side of its receiver and occupies forward

low recoil (as compared to similar light machine guns) is the "constant
recoil" principle.
The mk2 magazine consists of two
tapered pins on bar, controlled by magazine release button. The machine gun
