The Schwarzlose machine gun was a water-cooled, belt-fed machine gun designed by Andreas Wilhelm Schwarzlose for the Austro-Hungarian Army in 1907. This is one of the few proven machine guns with fixed term and delayed blowback. The model of 1907 has a gap between the top cover and the water jacket. This has been changed at the MG M. 7/12. The Austrian air force was equipped with M.07/12/R16 which was an air-cooled version of the M. 7/12. During World War I Austria-Hungary has given many MG M. 7/12 to Bulgaria and the Ottoman Empire.

The Netherlands constructed their own versions based on the M.07 under the names M.07, M08/13, M08/15 chambered in 6.5×53mmR.

The Swedish Kulspruta m/1914 chambered in 6.5×55mm and looks exactly the same like the M. 7/12 , but on the water cooling jacket is the Swedish national coat of arms.

Czechoslovakia took over a larger number of weapons in the inventory of their forces. In 1924 these weapons have been converted to the caliber 7.92 × 57 mm and designated as M. 07/24. After the German occupation of Czechoslovakia the M. 07/24 is used by the Wehrmacht.

The Schwarzlose Machine Gun Model 07/12 can be seen in the following productions:
