Summary
[edit]DescriptionMachine gun firing at a Boche plane (4688546704).jpg |
English: Vickers machine-gun crew, Western Front, during World War I. A machine-gun crew using a Vickers machine-gun to fire at an aircraft. The Number 1 of the crew is clearly looking through the sights on the back of the gun barrel as he fires. The Number 2 is feeding in the ammunition belt. The other two would have been needed to help carry the gun and its ammunition. The Vickers was a heavy machine-gun, weighing 100lb (45kg) so it was not easy to move quickly. As a result, the lighter and simpler Lewis gun was developed, although both continued to be used. |
