can you tell me what guns were used in literally ANY historical event mr gunslinger. i am curious ... and also a bit more curious to if you get it wrong

I'm never wrong.

The Australian Emu War (though I wouldn't call it a proper war) is a great example of the use of earlier machine guns, though they were invented in the 1880s and this took place in 1932. The gun in question was a Lewis Gun.

Also known as the Lewis automatic machine gun, or the Lewis automatic rifle, these guns weighed 13kg which is about the weight of a standard dog, I think. Approximately 1.27m with the barrel taking up just over half that length. Cartridges included diamiters ranging 54mm to 63mm, and lengths from 7.62cm to 7.92cm.

These absolute beauties can fire up to 600 rounds per minute, each travelling at roughly 2,670km/h. Wouldn't want to get caught up in that, huh? Their effective firing range is about 800m, although the maximum range is more like 3.2km.

I assume you don't care too much about the design details, but I'm always willing to explain!
