It was used at the battalion level, and often mounted on vehicles (such as a jeep). There were two main iterations: the M1917, which was used in World War I and the M1917A1, which was used thereafter. The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun is a heavy machine gun designed toward the end of World War I by John Browning. The French St. Étienne Mle 1907 (French: Mitrailleuse Mle 1907 T) was a gas operated air-cooled machine gun in 8mm Lebel which was widely used in the early years of the First World War. It fires the French 7.5×54mm round which is equivalent in ballistics and striking power to the later 7.62×51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) and 7.62×54mmR round.
The one area where modernization was approved was in the tank armament. The Char FT Mitrailleuse (machine gun) had been armed with the Hotchkiss 8mm machine gun, and there was some interest in replacing this weapon with the Reibel 7.5mm MAC, which used a more practical drum magazine instead of the clip used with the Hotchkiss.

World War I's defining weapon for many, Germany's MG 08 machine gun won a formidable reputation on battlefields from Tannenberg to the Somme. Although it was a lethally effective weapon when used from static positions, the MG 08 was far too heavy to perform a mobile role on the battlefield.

It can be fired without a mount, or it can be mounted on a bipod for use as a light machine gun, on a tripod for use as a heavy machine gun, and on a special antiaircraft mount or on the standard tripod mount with adapter and special sight for use as an antiaircraft gun, as well as on numerous other types of mounts on tanks and other vehicles.

However, its gun barrel was based on an earlier Hotchkiss 5- barrelled rotary-cannon. The 3.7 cm TAK 1918 was designed and built for the Imperial German Army in 1918. The 3.7 cm Pak 36 which first appeared in 1928 was probably the first…
The gun barrel was wire-wound nickel-steel with a single-motion screw breech with a cartridge extractor. It fired a fixed round of shell and cartridge fixed together, which was known as "quick firing" in British terminology. It has been pointed out that this was a practical design that should have worked, but it did not. Apart from possible inconsistencies in the ammunition supplied, the real problem was that the gun used to trial the gear, a gas-operated…
