0:0:0

The Hotchkiss M1922 was a gas operated, air-cooled light machine gun manufactured by the French compnay Hotchkiss who had previously developed the Hotchkiss M1914. Two types of feed were available for the M1922, strip feed and magazine feed. Each type of feed required its own reciever with appropriate feed arrangements on the top. A standard M1922 featured a conical flash hider on the barrel, a wooden butt with an integral pistol grip, and a folding bipod attached to the barrel in front of the gas block. It was offered in a variety of calibers such as the 6.5mm, 7x57 Mauser, or .303. The Hotchkiss M1922 was passed over by the French military in favor of the Chatellerault 24/29, and it was not adopted in large numbers by any other major military forces. Several smaller nations did purchase quantities of the gun, and this led to a lot of variations of it being made. The Greek army did use the weapon with great success in the Greco-Italian War. It was also used by the Chinese Nationalist Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War to fight against the Japanese Imperial Army.
