Maxim MG-08 Machine Gun (multiple) – Preserving our History

I photographed these Maxim MG-08 / Spandau 08/15 Machine Gun 7.92mm examples in Florida, Wyoming, Virginia, and England. The deadly MG-08 could fire 450 bullets per minute, and was responsible for more casualties on the battlefield than any other weapon in WWI.

With the water-cooling sleeve removed and weight greatly reduced, the Maxim LMG-08 Light Machine Gun was developed for use on airplanes

The Swiss manufactured their own MG-11 Maxim Machine Guns after Germany cut off supplies when WWI broke out.
