The intermediate machine gun weighs
about twenty five to twenty-eight
pounds and is either fired from the hip,
light support or even a stone or some
other projection from the ground as
the man who fights it lies prone. This

man bearing the gun and another the
ammunition for its amiable consump-

water jacket, but they are corrugated
to give more exposure to the afr; but
as an air-cooled piece heats much more
rapidly than one cooled by water. they
cannot stand as much firing without
changing barrels.

sixteen to nineteen pounds and Is fired
