The Development of the Machine Gun

INTRODUCTION Machine guns are designed as fully automated weapons capable of quickly releasing several ammunition. This term is often used to describe a non-automatic gun being modified to work like an automatic rifle. Machine guns have made great progress over the years and are now weapons that are chosen for many wars and security operations. The brand name of the modified machine gun has changed since years ago. Since the ammunition belt is used to feed bullets into the gun to fire the gun, the ammunition belt can be held or fixed to the bracket during use (Fowler et al.

There are two major machine gun era: manual machine gun era and automatic machine gun era. Technology development itself is characterized by a series of development of specific automatic functions, and technology development (such as linked ammunition). The era of manual multiple shooting devices lasted hundreds of years (such as manual rifles), but the development of manual and automatic machine guns almost completely occurred in the second half of the 19th century. The manual machine gun is manually moved; for example, like an automatic machine gun, the crank must be turned for force reload and launch instead of simply pressing the trigger. There are many other noteworthy features, but this is one of the most important functions and you can make general firepower of machine gun higher.

Manual machine guns and manual volleyball guns first appeared in the American Civil War. Both Gatling Gun and 'Coffee Gun' are loaded manually and supplied through hopper with cartridge. Gatling gun - manual rotary machine gun - will be the main type in the late 19th century, but many other manual designs are frequently used (eg Nordenfelt machine gun). The first automatic machine gun was a recoil Maxim gun that used connection bullets (and) as well as munitions and automatic loading. This concept of using bullet energy will also promote the development of almost all other semi-automatic and fully automated guns of the 20th century.

Continuous development of new machine gun Lewis gun is a new UK light machine gun. The Lewis gun was originally designed by Samuel McLean, and was developed by I.N and refined US forces Lewis. The US military was not interested in this weapon, and Lewis took a gun in Belgium. In 1913 he established a manufacturing company there. In 1914, during the outbreak of World War I, the majority of staff fled to the UK, where they could continue to manufacture guns at the Birmingham Small Arms Factory. After that British troops, Belgian troops, Italian troops widely used guns as ground weapons and aircraft guns. Luis guns became a standard issue for the French Australian army, and each row had its own Lewis gun. Under this weapon, Cedric Popkin, the fourth Australian division of the 24th machine gun company, may have shot down the Red Baron. 19 years
