Browning Gun

The  is a mounted weapon featured in Red Dead Redemption.

Background
The Maxim Gun is one of the original self-powered machine guns, and was originally chambered in the .45 Gatling-Gardner caliber. The weapon's mechanism uses energy from the recoil of each shot to eject each spent cartridge and insert the subsequent one in rapid succession. The Maxim also holds water around the barrel for self-cooling to allow longer periods of continuous fire.

Description
In Red Dead Redemption, the  appears as a mounted weapon on an early-model armored truck in the mission &quot;And You Will Know The Truth&quot;. Such a vehicle had only just been produced and used as recently as 1902, and was yet untested in military engagements. It also features in the final mission against Dutch. A  is usable from the roof of the player's safehouse in El Matadero and Cochinay in the Single Player campaign. Unlike the Gatling Gun, this one can rotate 360 degrees.

In Multiplayer, the  can be found in Cochinay far to the north, as well as on the roof of the central building in El Matadero.

Trivia

 * Confusingly, the game refers to this weapon as a "Browning gun" though the game model does not remotely resemble the M1895 Colt-Browning machine gun, but rather a hybrid of features from the Browning M1917, Vickers M1912, and the M1884 Maxim.
 * In real life, any belt-fed machine gun of the World War I period in a flexible mounting required an assistant gunner to guide the cartridge belt; firing the gun solo like Marston does would quickly result in a jam.
 * When saving El Matadero in Undead Nightmare, it is advised to use the Maxim Gun on top of the building with the survivor leader to kill all the Undead, as apposed to giving ammo to all the survivors. It's a good way to cut down on ammo usage as it is difficult to find ammo in the Undead Wasteland.
