An early machine gun refers to a type of firearm designed to fire multiple rounds automatically with a single pull of the trigger. One of the first widely recognized examples is the Gatling gun, invented in the 1860s, which utilized a revolving set of barrels to achieve rapid fire. Another significant early machine gun is the Maxim gun, developed in the 1880s, which was the first to use the energy of the recoil to eject spent cartridges and chamber new rounds automatically. These innovations dramatically changed warfare by increasing firepower on the battlefield.
