WEAPON || Maxim - The First Machine Gun That Revolutionized Modern Warfare

###Maxim Machine Gun

The Maxim machine gun, invented in 1884 by Sir Hiram Maxim, was the world’s first fully automatic firearm, using a recoil-operated mechanism to automatically reload. It marked a revolutionary milestone in modern weaponry.

###Key Features:
Caliber:Commonly .303 British or 7.62×54mmR.
Rate of Fire:500–600 rounds per minute.
Cooling System:Water-cooled to prevent the barrel from overheating during sustained fire.

Operating Mechanism:
The Maxim gun utilized the recoil force from each shot to move the barrel backward, ejecting the spent cartridge and chambering the next round automatically, enabling continuous fire without manual reloading.

###Historical Impact:
Widely used in colonial wars and World War I.
Laid the foundation for modern machine gun designs.

Renowned for its durability, firepower, and efficiency, the Maxim machine gun revolutionized warfare by introducing automatic firepower.
