History Of A Machine Gun

Machine guns are fully automatic guns that spray bullets super fast. The first fully automatic weapon was created by Hiram Maxim in 1885. His Maxim machine gun used a recoil system to fire up to 500 rounds per minute. However this was not a very accurate gun, it was meant to just spray many bullets at their enemy and hope 1 of them hit. Machine guns in the war were not amazing but they worked. The disadvantages of a machine gun were they were hard to transport and you would waste over half the bullets because of how inaccurate they were. And in order to keep the barrel from melting a man had to be pouring water into it. Also a man had to be feeding the strand of bullets through, plus one had to shoot it. That's 3 guys to use 1 gun. Now we have machine guns that are super accurate and you can carry them. They have improved a lot.
