Liquid cooled guns on a fixed position will shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot as long as they have ammo and some water in the sleeve. They are really good guns for ww1 style trench warfare.
I’m reminded when a British battalion had to get rid of all their old Vickers ammo, and ran it through their old Vickers gun. I think they said they did like 2 million rounds and had 2 issues total.
They’re still using Maxim guns in Ukraine.

They are amazing machines. Just heavy as fuck.
Really, the only thing “wrong” with them is that they’re heavy as fuck. But if you’re not moving, that’s not a problem
Or if ya mount them on the bed of a Toyota hilux.
As is tradition.
