When you hear the name Maxim, you will definitely say it. Boy, you're lazy again!I don't even bother to translate the name. In this issue, try to change all of them. If it's missing, it's really not seeing.
Autumn and Winter Check-in Challenge Maxim machine gun is really a lazy person**. You press the trigger, and the machine gun does the rest. This is a real machine gun that does not require human complex operation. He is best known for his invention that killed the largest number of people on Earth.
Makqin was born in Sangerville, Maine, on February 5, 1840. At the age of 14, he became an apprentice blacksmith (according to other sources, a coachmaker) and ten years later found a job with his uncle Levi Stevens in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Subsequently, he worked in different places and changed careers. No matter how the identity changes, curiosity and the pursuit of ideals never give up and change.
Hiram Maxim and his first machine gun. Interestingly, his brother Hudson Maxim was also a military inventor specializing in the development of ** objects. At first, they worked closely together, but later disagreements arose over the patent rights of smokeless gunpowder. The signature of the patent application for Shiram is "H."maxim", and it is for this reason that they had a dispute. It's hard to say what they borrowed from each other now, but the jealousy and disagreement between them led to an ongoing feud that they didn't get along again for the rest of their lives. Because of this, one stayed in the United States, while the other had to go to Europe. There is no room for two bears in one bear den!
Machine gun in 1884. 
Patent No. 1884 297278 concerned the reloading mechanism of the Winchester M1876 rifle. As you mentioned, this mechanic is very simple. The plate on the back of the butt was connected to the bolt by a lever with a spring. Under the action of recoil, the plate was compressed, and at the same time the bolt was driven. This system was very simple, probably the only thing that was simpler than it was Browning's early automatic rifle system, which had a cup-shaped device with a crank and a long ramrod attached to the bolt at the mouth of the barrel. When firing, the bullet flies through a hole in the cup-shaped device, but the gas presses on it, moving through the crank push lever and the bolt. It's a very effective design, but it's also very inconvenient.
Regarding personal life, he married his secretary and lover Sarah, the daughter of Charles Haynes of Boston, in 1881. The marriage was registered in Westminster, London, in 1890. In addition, there was a lady named Helen Layton, who claimed to have married him in 1878 and claimed that "he was intentionally guilty of bigamy while marrying his present wife, Jane Barden". She claimed to have given birth to one of his daughters, whom he later left £4,000. While the woman's claims were not substantiated in court, there may be some basis for this generosity.
Another patent for an automatic rifle by Hiram Stevens Maxim. The patent, filed in 1896, describes a design that uses gas pressure at the rear of the barrel to push the piston. The piston pushes the bolt backwards to complete the firing cycle.
The innovation of this patent is that it uses a reentry spring that is located inside the butt. This design allows for smoother movement of the bolt and reduces the recoil of the firearm. This patent was not widely used at that time, but it laid the foundation for the design of modern submachine guns.
The crowned man of the glory of Hiram Stevens Makqin has been praised for his achievements. For example, there was a large furniture factory where fires were frequent, so Makqin was invited to consult on how to prevent fires from happening again. As a result, Maxim invented the world's first automatic fire sprinkler system, which not only automatically extinguished the fire, but also notified the fire station. In addition, he installed the first electric lights for New York (the "Fair Living Building" at 120 Broadway) in the late 1970s. The importance of his work in the field of electrification can be seen in his dispute with Thomas Edison over the patent rights to the light bulb. In 1881, Maxim came to England to reorganize the offices of the Electric Electricing Company in London. According to legend (most likely made up by himself), in Vienna in 1882 he met an American acquaintance who advised him to give up his chemical and electrical work and invent something deadly, because only then could he make a lot of money.
Makqin's 1892 model Yes, Makqin was knocked out by the recoil of the butt of a rifle during his childhood. This event had a profound impact on him and led him to devote himself to the development of automatics.
Between 1883 and 1885, Maxim filed a series of patents for automatic** using recoil. In 1887 he emigrated to England and settled in a mansion in West Norwood. There he began to develop his famous Maxim machine gun.
The Maxim machine gun uses recoil to drive the bolt through the firing cycle. When the barrel moves backwards, it drives the bolt backwards. When the bolt moves backwards, it ejects the cartridge case and feeds a new cartridge into the chamber. The bolt is then pushed back into place by the reentry spring as the barrel moves forward.
The design of the Maxim machine gun was very successful and soon became widely used in the army. It changed the shape of warfare and became indispensable in modern warfare.
The development of the Maxim machine gun was one of the most important achievements of Maxim's life. Not only did it make him a famous inventor, but it also had a profound impact on the world.
The Maxim-Nordenfeld machine gun is a lightweight version of the Maxim machine gun, introduced in 1895. The machine gun was air-cooled, while the original Maxim machine gun was water-cooled.
The advantage of the air-cooled method is that it does not need to carry water, which is very convenient for soldiers fighting on the battlefield. In addition, the air cooling method also makes the machine gun lighter, easier to carry and use.
The introduction of the Maxim-Nordenfeld machine gun was welcomed by many armies, and it quickly became one of the most popular light machine guns of its time.
Many military experts at that time considered the idea of using water to cool the barrel ridiculous, especially about the constant replenishment of water. They rightly noted that soldiers may not always be able to get enough water, especially if a large amount of water is needed, as in the case of the Maxim machine gun. In addition, machine guns equipped with water cooling jackets and water were much heavier than those without these devices. They think that this kind of ** is too heavy. Makqin did not refute, but immediately made a ** model, which was extremely lightweight firstly, and secondly with an air cooling system.
The Maxim machine gun of 1895 was used in the British. 303 caliber ammunition. It should also be noted that Maxim was not only a brilliant inventor, but also a skilled manager. He often invites members of the royal family of different countries to ** his machine gun demonstrations, and when they are visited, he will take pictures with them and immediately post these ** on **!
King Edward VII of England personally fired the Maxim machine gun. That's the right way to promote invention!
On August 8, 1888, Tsar Alexander III of Russia tested the Maxim machine gun in the stables of the Anichkov Palace.
After the tests, representatives of the Russian military ordered 12 machine guns of the 1885 model from Maxim, which were used in 1067 mm Berdan rifle ammunition. In 1914, the machine gun was presented to the Museum of the History of Artillery in St. Petersburg by Grand Duke Boris Vladimirovich. For some reason, the caliber indicated on the label under the machine gun was 1143 mm. This could be a mistake on the part of the museum staff. The caliber of the Berdan rifle is 42 Russian lines, in fact, is 1067 mm.
This sample of firearm is very interesting, especially since it has both a pistol-style grip and a trigger, as well as a handle with a trigger. That is, it is possible to choose how to use it according to the user's preference: "Whatever you want, as long as you are willing to pay!"."It's an excellent marketing strategy.
Filmed in old machine-gun bunkers, located on the Sino-Soviet border, the last used Makqin machine gun remained until the disarmament of the Far Eastern defense zone in accordance with the withdrawal agreement. Due to the use of a water cooling system, there was no problem with overheating the barrel replacement.
Defensive fort internal Makqin machine gun cooling system. Corrugated hoses were used to suck up gunpowder fumes and deliver water to the water jacket of the machine gun. In addition, "at the end of the 19th century, the original machine-gun builders sincerely believed that their creations would make war impossible - the destructiveness of automatic fire would be too great, and the losses inflicted on the attacking side would be too heavy." Regrettably, this hope for a 'permanent peace' has not materialized. Machine guns were actively used in all the wars of the 20th century, claiming the lives of millions of people. They can still be seen today.
