The '''Barnitzke machine gun''' is a prototype machine gun of late World War II German origin. The weapon uses an unusual [[delayed blowback]] operation, where during firing the bolt opening is delayed by the rotational inertia of two [[flywheel]]s, which are driven by a rack and pinion arrangement on the bolt carrier.<ref name=CSV>{{cite web|url=http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/gusbucket13/BarnitzkeMG.jpg|title=Archive Photo|accessdate=13 September 2014|archive-date=14 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140914005258/http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/gusbucket13/BarnitzkeMG.jpg|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=LSV>{{cite web|url=http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/gusbucket13/barnitzkeMG2.jpg|title=Archive Photo 2|accessdate=13 September 2014|archive-date=14 September 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140914000554/http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk145/gusbucket13/barnitzkeMG2.jpg|url-status=dead}}</ref>
