The Vickers machine gun is a British, water-cooled, recoil-operated firearm that was first introduced in 1912 and became widely used during World War I and World War II. Known for its reliability and sustained fire capability, it fired .303 British ammunition and could be mounted on vehicles or used as a portable weapon. The Vickers gun played a crucial role in British military operations and remained in service well into the second half of the 20th century, being favored for its accuracy and durability. Its design laid the groundwork for future machine gun developments.
