Richard J. Gatling
Richard Jordan Gatling was an American inventor best known for creating the Gatling gun, which is often regarded as the first successful machine gun. Gatling designed the Gatling gun after noticing that most Civil War troops died from disease rather than gunshot wounds.
Maxim Gun
The Maxim gun, created by Sir Hiram Maxim in 1884, was the first self-powered machine gun and a significant step forward in firearms technology. Unlike prior manually operated guns, the Maxim gun employed each shot's recoil force to extract and eject the expended cartridge while loading the next round. This unique design enabled continuous automated fire without the need for manual operation. The Maxim gun quickly became a common weapon for numerous armed units around the world due to its dependability, high rate of fire, and combat effectiveness. It was widely used during colonial campaigns, World War I, and other conflicts, showcasing the deadly power of machine guns on the battlefield. The success of the Maxim gun created the groundwork for the creation of contemporary machine guns and established a standard for future automatic weapons. Its release signaled a tremendous advancement in gun technology, influencing military tactics and strategy for decades.
