What machingun was used by the Army 32 div 64th Brigade 121 machingun Battalion in ww-1?
Most likely, the Hotchkiss Mle 1914, which was French in origin and utilised the French 8x50R Lebel cartridge. Although the Browning M1917 was supposed to be the standard machine gun of the US Army, the Army never showed much interest in it until the outbreak of the war, and were forced to purchase foreign weapons as the M1917 could not be manufactured fast enough to meet the sudden demand.
