Ive recently learnt about the machine gun in my history class and here is the main disadvantage but there were also a lot of advantages too.
for instance the machine gun often over heated which caused a big problem because they weren't able to use them until they cooled back down.
to cool them back down they usually put them in water but this could be a big problem if there weren't any water around.
