The early machine guns would rapidly overheat and become inoperative without the aid of cooling mechanisms?

Early machine guns like the Agar Gun suffered from heat buildup in the barrel causing premature detonation of the rounds and mechanical failures from material fatigue. This problem was improved upon in later weapons like the Gatling Gun which utilized multiple barrels and the Vickers machine gun which had an external water jacket over the barrel.

Examples include air cooling systems, liquid cooling systems, and refrigeration-based systems.
What cooling methods are used for an open machine?

What guns did American soldiers use in ww1?
Machine guns came into widespread use in WWI. These fired the standard rifle cartridge but featured heavy construction, elaborate mountings, and water cooling mechanisms that enabled heavy fire with excellent accuracy, but was too cumbersome to move quickly.
