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. At the end the weapon was known as a MG Vollmer, later also as VMG 1927.<ref name="nl">[http://www.mp40.nl/index.php?page=heinrich-vollmer-2 Heinrich Vollmer (1885-1961)] translation to English from ''Samopal M.P.38 a MP40'' by Martin Helebrant, published in Czech by Nakladatelstvi Elka Press, {{ISBN|978-80-87057-02-5}}</ref>

It consisted of only 78 parts while the standard MG of those days, the MG 08/15 consisted of 383 parts.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lexikon-der-wehrmacht.de/Waffen/maschinengewehre-R.htm|title = Maschinengewehre}}</ref> It operated on the principle of [[short recoil]] with a rotary locking mechanism for the bolt, carried by helical grooves.<ref name="vhu"/> It was fed from a small [[drum magazine]] underneath the receiver.

In 1927 Vollmer also obtained a patent covering the breech mechanism of the weapon.<ref name="nl"/> Later on, Vollmer co-developed the gun with [[Mauser]] Werke as the '''MV 31''' (Mauser-Vollmer 1931). It was offered to the German ordnance board (Inspektion für Waffen und Gerät - IWG) but, after testing, it was not adopted for service. This gun had a quick-change barrel and used a drum magazine.<ref name="nl"/>

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