The '''Lewis Gun''' is a light machine gun initially designed by US Army Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, but primarily produced in the United Kingdom. Colonel Lewis designed the machine gun in 1911, but it was not considered for use by the US military due to disagreements between Lewis and General William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance of the United States Army at the time. Lewis moved to Europe in 1913, determined to privately produce the guns, and in 1914 the Birmingham Small Arms Company began producing the Lewis Gun under license in Britain.
 
The Lewis Gun is gas-operated, with its most distinct features being its 47 or 97-round pan magazine, and large cooling jacket. The cooling jacket works by having the muzzle blast from firing a shot forced into the jacket to cool the barrel. 
 
The Lewis Gun was used extensively by Britain throughout World War I, where it was valued for its lower weight and greater portability compared to other contemporary machine guns. While officially replaced by the [[Bren Gun]] and [[Vickers K]] by the time of World War II, the Lewis Gun was still used extensively, with large stocks in storage being reissued following the British Expeditionary Force leaving behind much of its equipment following the Dunkirk Evacuation. Large amounts were also issued to the Home Guard, where it was discovered that the gun works just fine without the heavy cooling jacket- much to the chagrin of World War I veterans who carried one during the war. The Lewis Gun was officially withdrawn from service in 1946, with over 152,000 produced in total. 
Infantry Lewis Guns are fitted with wooden stocks. Most infantry Lewis Guns feature the original cooling jacket, but some lack the cooling jacket; these are most commonly associated with the British Home Guard, and are often aircraft Lewis Guns converted for ground usage.

The Lewis Gun also also extensively used on British and French aircraft during World War I, favored due to its lower weight than other machine guns, air cooling, and self-contained magazines as opposed to belts. An infantry Lewis Gun was also the first machine gun fired from an airplane, with Captain Charles Chandler of the US Army firing one while aboard a Wright Flyer in 1912.

The '''Type 92''' is a Japanese derivative of the Lewis Gun and was equipped as a defensive weapon on Imperial Japanese Navy planes during the early parts of World War II. In combat however, the Type 92 was considered inadequate compared to the [[MG 15|Type 1]] and [[MG 131|Type 2]] machine guns and the [[Type 99 cannon|Type 99]] cannon. As with the Navy's [[Vickers#Type 97 Aircraft Machine Gun|Type 97]] machine gun and the previously mentioned Type 1, the Type 92 remained chambered for (Japanese-produced varieties of) .303 British (7.7x56mmR). The most distinctive visual difference compared to the original Lewis Gun is the enlarged trigger guard.

Lewis Gun with cooling jacket removed, Thompson handguard, and 97-round magazine - .303 British.

The Lewis Gun is a light machine gun initially designed by US Army Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, but primarily produced in the United Kingdom. Colonel Lewis designed the machine gun in 1911, but it was not considered for use by the US military due to disagreements between Lewis and General William Crozier, Chief of Ordnance of the United States Army at the time. Lewis moved to Europe in 1913, determined to privately produce the guns, and in 1914 the Birmingham Small Arms Company began producing the Lewis Gun under license in Britain.

The Lewis Gun is gas-operated, with its most distinct features being its 47 or 97-round pan magazine, and large cooling jacket. The cooling jacket works by having the muzzle blast from firing a shot forced into the jacket to cool the barrel.

The Lewis Gun was used extensively by Britain throughout World War I, where it was valued for its lower weight and greater portability compared to other contemporary machine guns. While officially replaced by the Bren Gun and Vickers K by the time of World War II, the Lewis Gun was still used extensively, with large stocks in storage being reissued following the British Expeditionary Force leaving behind much of its equipment following the Dunkirk Evacuation. Large amounts were also issued to the Home Guard, where it was discovered that the gun works just fine without the heavy cooling jacket- much to the chagrin of World War I veterans who carried one during the war. The Lewis Gun was officially withdrawn from service in 1946, with over 152,000 produced in total.

Infantry Lewis Guns are fitted with wooden stocks. Most infantry Lewis Guns feature the original cooling jacket, but some lack the cooling jacket; these are most commonly associated with the British Home Guard, and are often aircraft Lewis Guns converted for ground usage.

Aircraft mounted Lewis Gun with 47-round magazine - .303 British

The Lewis Gun also also extensively used on British and French aircraft during World War I, favored due to its lower weight than other machine guns, air cooling, and self-contained magazines as opposed to belts. An infantry Lewis Gun was also the first machine gun fired from an airplane, with Captain Charles Chandler of the US Army firing one while aboard a Wright Flyer in 1912.
