The Maxim Gun and the PM M1910 represent transformative moments in the history of automatic firearms. Introduced by Sir Hiram Maxim in the 1880s, the Maxim Gun was the first fully automatic machine gun. Notably, it utilized a water-cooling mechanism to prevent overheating during sustained fire, giving it a distinctive appearance and a capability for prolonged fire that was unparalleled at the time.
This revolutionary weapon saw extensive use in various conflicts, including World War I. Parallelly, the Russians adapted this design into the PM M1910, retaining the water-cooling system but adding features suitable for their military needs, especially its iconic wheeled Sokolov mount. Used predominantly by the Russian and later Soviet forces, the PM M1910 served in both World Wars.
Currently in action against the Russian incursion, the PM M1910 is a favored choice among Ukrainian fighters, primarily due to its reliability.

There was one assault in August 1916, the attack on High Wood. There were 10 Machine Guns and the company commander ordered continuous support for 12 hours. Two other infantry companies were brought in for support, aka carrying fresh ammo and water. The ten guns together shot through almost a million rounds of ammo (and used up all the local water and urine in order to keep the guns cool). The best-performing unit of the ten shot through 120,000 rounds.

@duartesimoes508 Год назад

There's nothing missing on this weapon to remain an excellent MG, as long as used in a fixed defensive position. The caliber is the very much current 7,62x54R as in the PK, the weapon is superbly well made and robust, there is usually no lack of water or snow in Ukraine and actually many of these Maxims are brand new, carefully stored for 80 years. (I owned two Mosin Nagant M-38 and M-44 rifles manufactured in Tula in 1948 that I bought _unfired_ in the nineties) Often the armoured plate is removed, as it was found to be too visible, too heavy, hard to conceal and not very effective. The first links were made in canvas and as we all know they tended to swell and create stoppages when wet or drying. I guess they must be synthetic now. Very fine weapon overall. The Brits only phased out their Vickers in the sixties for good reasons, namely being .303 in an Army changing to the 7,62 NATO, and the other being the appearance of the superb FN MAG. Slava Ukrainiy & Slava 3CY! 💪😀 🇺🇦

One real advantage is its very stable mount. Effective range for a gun like that really is 1000m or more. Barrage fire was what it was called in WW1 and it kept the enemies heads down to sweep their trenches with MG fire from over a kilometer away. Especially bc at that range the bullet comes in from a significant downward angle. Modern guns were meant for a battlefield supposedly too advanced to include trench warfare. But it is not the case yet.

@yougoof Год назад

Which must be why it keeps happening all over the world.

@EstellammaSS Год назад

It’s used against drones as a cheap AA piece. When you shoot at aerial targets it’s more like throwing ammunitions at the general direction hoping one might hit eventually, so 4 guns means 4 times the accuracy.

I think you’re referring to a Vickers gun that was tested in 1963. The Vickers was a later development of the Maxim, turned upside down and lightened. The Vickers in question fired over 5 million rounds in 7 days. Barrels had to be changed continuously as even with water cooling they would be shot out after about 90m. At the end they examined the gun and found no wear at all to the internal parts.

@citizenVader Год назад

@JimmySailor I'm definitely not saying it isn't. I remember the documentary educated in the history of firearms, and the test was conducted in a soundproof cellar. I also remember the result was a little closer to 6 million, but at that stage, 1 million + or ÷ it's still a sturdy piece of equipment.

@joeordinary209 Год назад

Ha haa i have used a maxim in the Finnish army :) But it was just for show an fun, it was not trained for as a part as regular equipment used.

@Hibernicus1968 Год назад

All the variants of the Maxim have a complexity inseparable from their late 19th century design, but they were also all overbuilt to the point of near-indestructibility. Plus, the Soviets warehoused old military equipment loooooooooooooooooooooooong after most other countries would have sold the stuff off as surplus, so it's not surprising that these things are reemerging in the Ukraine conflict now. Their weight makes them far less flexible in use than more modern machine guns, but if a fixed gun emplacement is useful in a given situation... well, they spray bullets as well as they did a hundred years ago.

@vipertwenty249 Год назад

It's not it's rate of fire - it's the fact that it's water cooled so it can keep on firing as fast and as continuously as you can feed it ammunition. In World War One, most of the time they didn't even aim them directly at the enemy - they set them up on tripods (yes tripods not bipods) to fire on a fixed bearing at thigh hieght with multiple guns criss-crossing their fire so that an advancing enemy had to walk through the streams of bullets and get their legs shot through. That way smoke obscuring the advancing enemy didn't matter - they advanced into almost guaranteed death. One single gun like this that happened to be in the right place at the right time stopped a critical German advance in 1914, leading to 4 years of trench warfare.

These are two different types of machine guns! The Maxim machine gun is an easel machine gun with a water-cooled barrel. they can fire indefinitely if water circulation is connected to the casing, this is an indispensable machine gun for a reinforced concrete firing point.MG42 is a light machine gun, it has problems with overheating of the barrel during long shooting, it (the barrel) will need to be changed when it gets hot, plus MG-42 suffered from a disease with misaligned cartridges

600 rpm is perfectly adequate for a heavy mg. The MG42 actually fired too fast and would chew through ammo and barrels like no-ones business and you can't suppress an enemy if you're reloading or changing the barrel.

This video was posted in August 23 but Bakhmut was taken by Russia in May 23. So how exactly is it 'helping Ukraine defend Bakhmut" when it was taken months ago. Also the video is nonsense, this gun is not being used in any numbers.

Ukraine is still losing the war completely.

“Dominate”? It’s a pathetic effort to offer some replacement for a lack of modern weaponry.

Why is there a swastika on the gun at 2:59

It's not the Hitler one Hitler twisted his version of the swastika.

@NatCo-Supremacist Год назад

@@Ren505nmNo he absolutely did not, Hitler was effectively possessed by Wotan himself, the Swastika is Wotan's symbol. He used it exactly as it was intended, and if you disagree, you have no idea about it's history
