Ifni War
Spain bought the license of the Hotchkiss machine gun Model 1903, firing the 7×57mm Mauser ammunition. Adopted as the standard heavy machine gun of the Spanish Army, it was built at Oviedo. 2,000 were in service when the Civil War broke and they were widely used by the conflicting parties involved. This machine gun also saw action during the Ifni War in 1957-1958.
