Maxim MG08 7.92 mm machine gun 1915 (c)

Manned by well-trained crews in protected positions the Maxim '08 could fire 450 rounds per minute at advancing troops. Machine-guns were placed at angles so converging lines of fire would ensure more hits on the attackers. It couldalso mean that a soldier in an attacking line was hit more than once.
