Which was a much easier gun to use, because it automatically fires. When it fires it continues to till it runs out of ammo. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2013902597 2022-01-26 16:10:23 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2013902597 It was invented in 1884 in Maine. It was first used by Germany. Even though the inventor, Hiram Maxim, first offered it to Britain. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2013910809 2022-01-26 16:13:32 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2013910809 Its intended use was to be used as an infantry support weapon. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2016267529 2022-01-27 16:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2016267529 This weapon was very effective, so much so we still use it to this day. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017951475 2022-01-28 14:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017951475 The actual machine gun has not changed really since its first invention. However the ammo has. They keep trying to make it better or faster. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017957981 2022-01-28 14:16:46 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017957981 The machine gun changed the war because of how easy and fast it could kill or shoot soldiers. It could take out lines of them. Which with the help of barb wires invented muddy trench fights. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017963559 2022-01-28 14:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017963559 Fun fact the machine gun can fire up to 1000 rounds per minute. 2008rphi https://padlet.com/2008rphi/u3gzn9m2ilvjfquj/wish/2017970489
