The Lewis Gun is an American designed Light machine gun that was used heavily by the Allies, particularly Great Britain, in World War I and, to a lesser extent, in World War II. The Lewis had a distinctive top-mounted pan magazine, similar to the later Russian DP, as well as a large barrel-shroud which was used to cool the barrel while firing. The the design of the Lewis would go on to be an inspiration for the German FG42, which in turn inspired the M60 machine gun still in use today.

A specially engraved Lewis gun appears in Battlefield Hardline as the Syndicate Gun.
