Machine guns were developed in the 1890s and improved upon for the next twenty years. The German Army, during World War I, began the large scale use of machine guns (machinin gewehr) on the battle field, primarily as fixed position defensive area weapons. The other countries involved quickly followed suit. One of the first practical machine guns was invented by Hiram Maxim, an American, whose design greatily influenced the machine guns used by Germany, England and France, and later by the USofA. John M. Browing, an American, developed several very practical and successful machine guns in the 1915 to 1925 era, several of which are still in use today, e.g. The Browning .50 MG, officially the .50 BMG also called in slang: "Ma Deuce".
