i think you mean the first one that are made? well, those machine guns use the pushback force from the explosion of the previously fired shell/bullet to toss the empty casing out of a small chamber of the gun and draw in another bullet automacially. this allows you to fire nonstop while holding your hand on the trigger. it fires just like any other gun expect it has a few changes to it that allows bullets to be ejected and reloaded one after another.

What was the American machine gun in World War 1?

Americans used mainly French machine guns such as the 8mm 1914 Hotchkiss mg and the Chauchat (light machine gun) which was apparently very unreliable due to grit and mud jamming the gun. The reason America had such great machine guns from then on, was the need to have their own machine guns but also to eliminate French unreliability. America then made machine guns such as the Browning 1917 mg and the BAR light machine gun (for walking fire) which soldiered on through to the Korean War. Cheers Big John
