Talk:The Blue Max
I think the LMG 08/15 is just a mockup, and the rifles look like Enfield No. 4's. --Funkychinaman (talk) 01:57, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
Maxim gun
The Maxim ground gun also appears to be a Vickers gun with a conical flash hider added. --Maskedweasel (talk) 09:07, 30 June 2014 (EDT)
the Maxims are not the real deal
After watching the movie (again) I'm fairly sure the aircraft maxim 08's are mockups. I believe this for three reasons. First: The cocking handle on each MG doesn't move when the gun is fired. Second: The brass ejects through the right side of the gun right in the middle of the cooling jacket which is not where the brass is ejected in the original. Third: The barrel of each MG is shown portruding from just above the exact center of the cooling jacket. In reality the barrel was at the bottom of the jacket. There also seems to be a stick-magazine inserted very near where the movie-version MG is ejecting brass. It might be that the producers mounted a pair of submachineguns a standin for the real MGs.
