-The "Maxim gun" used the recoil power of the previously fired bullet to reload rather than being hand-powered, enabling a much higher rate of fire than was possible using earlier designs such as the Nordenfelt and Gatling weapons.
-It has also improved by it not using and manual reload and it just takes left over gunpowder after each bullet for a quicker fire rate.
