The Maxim gun is a recoil-operated machine gun, invented in 1884 by Hiram Stevens Maxim. It was the world's first fully automatic machine gun.
The Maxim rifle has been called "the weapon most associated with imperial conquest" by historian Martin Gilbert and was widely used by colonial powers during the "Scramble for Africa." Maxim rifles have also been widely used by various armies during the Russo-Japanese War, World Wars I and II, and in contemporary conflicts.
The Maxim gun was very influential in the development of machine guns and has several variants and derivatives, such as the Vickers, PM M1910 and MG 08. Some are still in service today, such as during the war in Ukraine.
