Maxim MG

The Maxim machine gun  was the world's first recoil-operated machine gun, invented in 1883. Most of the belt-fed heavy machine guns of World War I were derived from the Maxim, such as the British Vickers, the German MG08 and the Russian PM1910.

Battlefield 1
The Maxim MG is featured in Battlefield 1, appearing as a static machine gun emplacement. The weapon has unlimited ammunition but will overheat if constantly fired for long enough, forcing the player to stop firing until it cools. The gun is fitted with a bulletproof gunshield to protect the user.
