This video features the exceptionally rare Hiram's Extra Light Maxim Gun, a fascinating attempt to compete with the Colt/Browning M1895. Weighing significantly less than traditional Maxim guns due to its air-cooled design and internal mainspring, this firearm aimed for portability. Despite its innovative construction, the air cooling limited sustained fire capabilities, leading to a commercial failure with only 135 examples produced, mostly for testing purposes without major military contracts. The video highlights this historical artifact from the Royal Armouries.
