- The Colt-Browning M1895, nicknamed "potato digger" because of its unusual operating mechanism, is an air-cooled, belt-fed, gas-operated machine gun that fires from a closed bolt with a cyclic rate of 450 rounds per minute. Based on a John Browning and Matthew S. Browning design dating to 1889, it was the first successful gas-operated machine gun to enter service.

Am i the only one who came to know what does the thing in front does?
NO WAY ?!?!?! The thing under the barrel IS the hammer???
Nah, the thing under the barrel is part of the mechanism that cycles in the next round. The gun is basically a fully-automatic lever-action.

Техническая скорострельность продемонстрированная на этом видео , равна 400 выстрелам в минуту , что соответствует действительности. Конечно , этот показатель не всегда был стабильным. Среди замеряных мною образцов ( я имею ввиду настоящие пулеметы ) темп огня колебался от 360 до 470 выстрелов в минуту.
