During my Marine days, I was tasked with teaching various classes on machine guns, including the history of machine guns. As I began researching this topic, I quickly discovered that we’ve sought ways to make guns fire faster since the early days of muskets. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the ribauldequin, also known as the organ gun, arrived. An ...
Richard Jordan Gatling designed the Gatling Gunin 1861. While not technically a machine gun, the Gatling established what a sequential firing weapon could do. Utilizing multiple rotating barrelsand a hand crank design, the Gatling gun introduced a heavy, crew-served gun fed from a top-mounted hopper. An assistant gunner could continuously load the ...

Though World War I often receives credit for the advent of machine gun dominance, several events before WWI served as a precursor to the machine gun’s dominance. A Maxim machine gun was sent with the Emin Pasha Relief Expedition in 1886— one of the final large European expeditions in the heart of Africa. Reportedly the Maxim Guns terrifying noise a...
World War I is the machine gun war…or it’s the war that allowed machine guns to change warfare. Every side during World War I utilized some form of the Maxim Gun, as well as other machine guns often domestically produced for fighting forces. World War I created such a need for machine guns that nearly a dozen variantswere produced. To illustrate ho...
In the years leading up to World War II and during, we saw machine gun technology improve. Guns got lighter with designs like the M1919 from Browning. They also got bigger with 50 caliber machine guns like the M2 “Ma Deuce”machine gun. Light machine guns also lessened the weight and became less complicated with improvements to the BAR and the intro...
During the so-called Cold War, the GPMG ruled. Everyone wanted a versatile, man-portable gunthat could occupy a wide variety of roles. Three guns largely define this era… The American M60 appeared in 1957, replacing the old M1919 and BAR. Meanwhile, the Russians came out with the PKM, a 7.62x54R machine gun that served as the Warsaw pact GPMG. It a...
American forces weren’t the only ones in search of a light machine gun. The Belgians also wanted in on the action. So, in 1974, FN created the 5.56 chambered FN Minimi– bridging the gap between the assault rifle and GPMG. But that wasn’t the end of light machine guns. They came from various parts of the world. The Minimi and RPD (and later RPK) wer...
Though machine guns have come a long way, they still retain one problem plaguing them from the very beginning…they’re heavy. Even light machine guns feel heavy compared to rifles. This alone has driven the Marine Corps to ditch the SAWs in favor of an Infantry Automatic Rifle. The automatic rifle has also seen use with a few different military forc...

A mitrailleuse ( French pronunciation: [mitʁajøz]; from French mitraille, " grapeshot ") is a type of volley gun with barrels of rifle calibre that can fire either all rounds at once or in rapid succession. The earliest true mitrailleuse was invented in 1851 by Belgian Army captain Fafschamps, ten years before the advent of the Gatling gun.
