WBritain 1/32 Vickers Maxim Machine Gun WW1 (41026)
Invented by American Hiram Maxim.Using the energy of each bullet's recoil force to eject
the spent cartridge and insert the next bullet. The Maxim Machine-Gun would therefore fire
until the entire belt of bullets was used up. Trials showed that the machine-gun could fire
500 rounds per minute and therefore had the firepower of about 100 rifles. The British Army
adopted the Vickers as its standard machine gun. Produced by the Vickers Company, it was a
modified version of the Maxim Machine-Gun. The Vickers Gun used a 250 round fabric-belt
magazine and had the reputation as a highly reliable weapon.The .303 Vickers Gun could fire
over 600 rounds per minute and had a range of 4,500 yards. Being water-cooled, it could
fire continuously for long periods
