This model was used during the South African War (1899 - 1902) and during World War I. The New Zealand Army purchased four of these guns in 1901 but by 1916 they were obsolete as a front line gun. Note: Hiram Maxim invented the first automatic gun in 1884 His new 1885 new model became the basic Maxim design. It was a recoil operated, belt fed, water cooled machine gun with the breech block locked by a toggle joint. The Maxim Gun Co was set up in 1884, and four years later joined with the Nordenfelt company to form Maxim Nordenfelt Gun Company. The company was later taken over and operated as Vickers, Sons & Maxim until 1911 when it became Vickers Ltd. reference: IV Hogg Illustrated Encyclopedia of Firearms, pp239-240WāAnglo-Boer War[World War 1, 1914-1918]/WarsWaitohu/māka7164 (firearm serial number)Pāohosteel/iron alloy/metal/inorganic materialRaraunga Ine1230mm (Clearing legs and barrel)650mm (clearing legs and feet)1140mm (including sight)900mm (sight down)Taumata whakarōpūmachine gunfirearmsarms & armaments Gun, MachineFirearmsArmaments05 Tools & Equipment for Science & TechnologyWhakahounga o Mua11 Oct 2023 E hangaia tonutia ana te kohinga tuihono a Tāmaki Paenga Hira; tāpirihia ai ngā whakahoutanga me ngā pūkete i ia wiki.
