Summary[edit]

Description Lot-8876-C-3: WWI: American Expeditionary Forces: Weapons. Browning Machine Gun, 1918 model, water cooled, and called “Browning Heavy Machine Gun.” This gun is fed from a belt of 250 rounds of cartridges. Most important features are endurance and simplicity of mechanism, rendering manufacturing easy. In a government test, 39,500 shots were fired without a break. At another test, 20,000 shots were fired in 48 minutes, 16 seconds, without malfunction and only three stoppages, each due to a defective cartridge. The gun weighs 34 pounds, with the water jacket filled. U.S. Army Signal Corps Photograph. Courtesy of the Library of Congress. (2017/02/17).
