This video is a book review of Robert Segel's "Handbook of Machine Gun Support Equipment and Accessories 1895-1945." The reviewer highlights the book's value as a reference for machine gun collectors, focusing on ancillary gear like toolkits, pouches, tripod adapters, belt loaders, optics, and sights. The book categorizes equipment by machine gun model, illustrating packed and unpacked kits to aid in identification and to help collectors identify missing components. It covers 77 different machine gun models up to 1945, with detailed chapters on popular models like the MG34 and MG42, and less detail on more obscure ones. The reviewer shares a personal anecdote of using the book to identify a Hotchkiss multi-wrench.
