I took these photos at the Virginia Military Museum on a trip to Newport News back in 2004.
Schwarzlose
Hotchkiss Mle 1914
Saint Etienne Mle 1907
Spandau Maxim MG08
Colt M1895 "Potato Digger"
A 'What if' substitute for a Minigun. Its basically a GPMG with either 3/4 barrels and sprays continuous bursts of .458 calibre rounds. Man portable variants would have 3 barrels.
If possible, It would be ideal for those serving in Iraq/Afghanistan!
This Soviet 7.62mm Machine gun fired beyond 3,600RPM. It was gas operated with the barrel and bolt moving in opposite directions to increase the rate of fire.
