The MG 08 is a variant of the Maxim Gun adopted by the German Army in 1908. It was Germany's first mass-produced machinegun and was used in a large number of conflicts including the Weltkrieg and the Second Weltkrieg. The MG 08 was a recoil-operated, water-cooled, belt-fed weapon that could fire up to 600 rounds per minute, chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser. It was a formidable weapon that could inflict massive casualties and suppress the enemy, proving its worth as the king of no-man's-land during the trench warfare phases of the Weltkrieg.
