The Lewis machine gun, developed in the early 20th century, was notable for its distinctive cooling shroud and top-mounted pan magazine. It was lightweight and air-cooled, making it highly portable for infantry use. Its design allowed for a high rate of fire and effective suppression of enemy troops, contributing significantly to its use during World War I and in various conflicts afterward. Despite being somewhat outdated by World War II, it remained in service due to its reliability and ease of operation.
