What is a Lewis gun?
A Lewis gun was an early type of machine gun used in WW1.
In what country was the first machine gun invented?
Britain
Why was the 45 cal rifle used in World War 2?
The .45 Thompson sub-machine gun and M3 sub machine gun (grease gun) were used in WW2, Korea, and Vietnam War. A sub-machine gun is called a SUB machine gun because it uses "pistol" ammunition. The M3 sub-machinegun looked exactly like a grease gun; hence the name.
Is it true machine guns enabled soldiers to kill from a distance?
Not necessarily. Before the machine gun came about, long range rifles were used. The Maxim gun, the first machine gun, was used for shorter range. Even in today's warfare, machine guns are not primarily used for ranged kills. When in doubt, (I can't believe I'm saying this) consult COD. Did Captain/Lieutenant Price assassinate Zachaev using an AK-47, or a Barrett M-82? :DDD
Who put the First machine gun on fighter plane?
French aviator Roland Garros attached a machine gun behind the propeller, as well as deflecting plates.
