The '''''Vickers Machine Gun''''', or simply '''''Vickers Gun''''', is a British medium machine gun made by the Vickers company, chambered in .303 British caliber. It was a further development of the [[Maxim]] machine gun developed in 1885 by Hiram Maxim, whose patent the company had purchased in 1896, and was manufactured from 1912.

* Caliber: .303 British
Even before Hiram Maxim left the company, the Vickers company further developed the Maxim machine gun into the Vickers machine gun. Vickers purchased the patents as early as 1896. Like the Maxim machine gun, the Vickers machine gun had a toggle-lock action, but the breech buckled upward instead of downward, allowing for a lower design of the breech housing, resulting in size and weight savings.
* Length: 43.31 inches
 
* Barrel Length: 28.35 inches
Thus was born the Vickers R.C. GUN, CLASS C, Model 1908 "Light Pattern" and after much testing and some modification, the gun was adopted as the standard "Vickers Machine Gun .303 Mark I" in the British Army on November 26, 1912. The Vickers machine gun used standard British .303 caliber ammunition and was popular with soldiers for its reliability and solid workmanship. The Vickers Gun was the standard heavy machine gun of the British Army in World War I. It became the standard weapon in the British Empire and Commonwealth for the next 55 years and remained in service virtually unchanged. The machine gun was offered for various calibers and sold worldwide.

The '''Type 97''' is a Japanese license-produced version of the Vickers Class E, used by the Navy; the Army also adopted a licensed copy of the Vickers Class E, the '''Type 89'''. In a textbook example of the IJN and IJA absolutely refusing to cooperate or share anything, the Navy's Type 97 remained chambered for .303 British (7.7x56mmR) while the Army developed the new semi-rimmed 7.7x58mmSR cartridge for the Type 89, and thus their ammo was not interchangeable. The Army's cartridge would later be developed into the rimless 7.7x58mm Arisaka cartridge.
 
The Japanese-produced versions of the [[MG 15]] share the same relationship, with the Navy's Type 1 being chambered for 7.7x56mmR (.303) while the Army's Type 98 was rechambered for 7.7x58mmSR. The Navy's domestically-produced version of the Lewis Gun, the [[Lewis Gun#Type 92|Type 92]], also remained in 7.7x56mmR.
 
The Type 89 aircraft machine gun (alternatively, Type 89 fixed machine gun) should not be confused with the unrelated [[Type 11 light machine gun|Type 89 flexible machine gun]], a twin defensive gun based on the Type 11. To add further confusion, the Class E-based Type 89 also had a flexible-mount variant, the '''Te-1''', which was redesigned to use pan magazines.

Vickers Mk. I with ribbed water jacket - .303 British

The Vickers Machine Gun, or simply Vickers Gun, is a British medium machine gun made by the Vickers company, chambered in .303 British caliber. It was a further development of the Maxim machine gun developed in 1885 by Hiram Maxim, whose patent the company had purchased in 1896, and was manufactured from 1912.

Even before Hiram Maxim left the company, the Vickers company further developed the Maxim machine gun into the Vickers machine gun. Vickers purchased the patents as early as 1896. Like the Maxim machine gun, the Vickers machine gun had a toggle-lock action, but the breech buckled upward instead of downward, allowing for a lower design of the breech housing, resulting in size and weight savings.

Thus was born the Vickers R.C. GUN, CLASS C, Model 1908 "Light Pattern" and after much testing and some modification, the gun was adopted as the standard "Vickers Machine Gun .303 Mark I" in the British Army on November 26, 1912. The Vickers machine gun used standard British .303 caliber ammunition and was popular with soldiers for its reliability and solid workmanship. The Vickers Gun was the standard heavy machine gun of the British Army in World War I. It became the standard weapon in the British Empire and Commonwealth for the next 55 years and remained in service virtually unchanged. The machine gun was offered for various calibers and sold worldwide.

In a textbook example of the IJN and IJA absolutely refusing to cooperate or share anything, the Navy's Type 97 remained chambered for .303 British (7.7x56mmR) while the Army developed the new semi-rimmed 7.7x58mmSR cartridge for the Type 89, and thus their ammo was not interchangeable. The Army's cartridge would later be developed into the rimless 7.7x58mm Arisaka cartridge.

The Japanese-produced versions of the MG 15 share the same relationship, with the Navy's Type 1 being chambered for 7.7x56mmR (.303) while the Army's Type 98 was rechambered for 7.7x58mmSR. The Navy's domestically-produced version of the Lewis Gun, the Type 92, also remained in 7.7x56mmR.

The Type 89 aircraft machine gun (alternatively, Type 89 fixed machine gun) should not be confused with the unrelated Type 89 flexible machine gun, a twin defensive gun based on the Type 11. To add further confusion, the Class E-based Type 89 also had a flexible-mount variant, the Te-1, which was redesigned to use pan magazines.
