When was the first machine gun invented?

-answer- the first machine gun was invented during world war 1 (WW1). -feedback- my problem with this answer. is that it does not say the name of the gun more specifically nor does it say the nationstate that got this technology first, where as the first rapid fire turrent was in the year 1862 and it was the Americans. it was called gatling gun. also one of the first guns for personnel to carry was something like a tommy gun in the 1930s and 1940s. i need to know this for a game im working on called Call to power II :World at war mod. if this is true i could use civilian machine gunners much more sooner.


How do you use a machine gun?

At it's most basic, you attach the ammunition feeding device, which can be a belt, a magazine or a clip, charge the gun and press or pull the trigger. The way a machine gun is used depend on what type of a machine gun it is and what attachments and controls it has. Machine guns are generally divided into light and heavy. The FN Minimi/M249 is an example of a Light Machine Gun (LMG), and the Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun is an example of a heavy machine gun. Machine guns can be portable or mounted. Mounts can be mobile or stationary. Machine guns can also be mounted on vehicles, boats and planes. LMG are used to provide fire support for a team of soldiers and are usually carried by one solder. The amminition is split among the rest of the team. Vehicle mounted machine guns can be a secondary defensive weapon, like on a tank, or the main armament, like on some airplanes.
