It was not discovered, it was invented (made) by Hiram Maxim.
The first true machine gun was invented by Hiram Maxim in the United Kingdom.
Richard Gatling invented the Gatling Gun in 1861. The first self-loading rapid fire gun was the first modern automatic weapon. Sir Hiram Maxim developed the first self-powered or recoil powered automatic gun in 1885 with the Maxim Gun.
The first machine gun was the Defense Gun, invented by James Puckle in England in 1718. It was a single barrel flintlock gun with multiple revolving chambers. It was operated by a hand crank. The intended use was repelling boarders on ships. The Puckle gun was not used very widely and failed commercially. An American inventor, Dr. Richard J. Gatling, invented in 1861 and patented in 1862 the hand-cranked multibarrel gun that can be considered the first cartridge machine gun. It was used in the American Civil War. The first commercially successful self-operating machine gun was invented by another American, who later emigrated to England, Hiram Stevens Maxim. Maxim formed a company to produce his gun in 1896. This company later became Vickers. Maxim's design was highly successful and found many buyers. The Maxim gun (Vickers gun in England) saw service on all sides of WWI and many conflicts around the world afterwards.
