New German Machine Gun With Horse Transport Feature
A Krupp weapon built with an interior recoiling part and exterior nonrecoiling part uses livers to extract spent cartridges and load fresh ones while cooling via a water jacket. Mounted on a wheeled carriage, it can be disassembled for pack-horse transport with separate loads for gun, breech, axle, wheels, and carriage. It is powerful against masses but limited in range and highly ammo-intensive, needing many horses or a large train to sustain fire.
