Wiki
A belt-fed medium machine gun invented in 1884 by Hiram Stevens Maxim and is historically the earliest example for an recoil-operated (or fully automatic) gun, opposed to the manually operated gatling gun which has a handcrank for the user. It entered various armed conflicts since 1886, most notably the Two World Wars even until 21st century's Russo-Ukrainian war. Its tubular barrel shroud stores water for cooling the barrel.
