Hotchkiss Mle 1914 machine-gun

The Mle 1914 Hotchkiss machine gun became the standard machine gun of the French Army during World War I. It was manufactured by the French arms company Hotchkiss et Cie, which had been established in the 1860s by American industrialist Benjamin B. Hotchkiss. The Hotchkiss system, essentially formulated in 1895, is clearly the conceptual precursor to most gas actuated machine gun designs to this day.Страна-производитель товара - Украина Страна регистрации бренда - Украина
