The MG 17 was a 7.92 millimeter machine gun produced by Rheinmetall-Borsig for fixed mounting in many Luftwaffe aircraft of the Second World War, typically serving as forward-firing offensive armament. It was developed from the earlier MG 30 light machine gun, as was its defensive, flexibly mounted counterpart, the MG 15 machine gun.
