When you look up the word "clueless" in the dictionary, there's a picture of Al Roker next to the definition.For us maybe. I bet Al Roker would choke on more than a few.

9/10 - I missed the one about the first "major" use of the machine gun in battle.
I chose the Spanish-American war since the Gatling was only a new invention during the Civil War. Even the answer said that it had a "limited" role in the Civil War - I would argue that it had more impact during the Spanish-American War.
Whatever... 9/10 ain't bad though!

ditto. but i could see that whoever made this quiz really didn't research any of this very much. i had to switch into "Discovery Channel mode" and think like they do.

10 for 10.
But I disagree with them including the Gatlin Gun in there as a machine gun.

I think they should have said the Knock volley gun was a machine gun.

By their definition of a "machine gun" any self-loading weapon, semi-auto, full-auto, or even a magazine fed bolt action or lever action, would be a "machine gun".

7 out of 10. I didn't realise "gattling guns" were considered machine guns, but I guess that's correct.
I shoulda known the M42 as well!

That was pretty cool. Took a couple of the quizes. Nice post
Exactly the reason for my 9/10.

US citizen when he founded Vickers in the UK in 1896 or '97. Became a naturalized 'Brit a few years after that.
Ager .58 cal "coffee mill gun".
Model 712 Schnellfueur.*
Soviet/Russian GsH-6 23mm aircraft cannon, 10,000 rpm*
* I had to 'web the last two, but knew the first 2 right off the bat.
I'm skeptical of #4, since, like all multibarrel systems, it's not a "true" MG, but more like a "chain" gun. Recoil/power gasses have no role in running it - it's electrically driven.
I personally would have said the American 180 M2 dual system. Two American 180's mounted on a single stock, or the quad system on a tripod. The '180 fired 1,700 rpm, of 3,600 in dual config, or 7,200 as a quad. That's a sh!tload of .22's screaming at ya!!!
Those ARE better quiz questions, though!!!
