HC Deb 05 September 1893 vol 17 c108
MR. WEIR (Ross and Cromarty)

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for War how many black powder .303 cartridges can be fired from the Maxim machine gun before the barrel becomes unfit for accurate shooting?

MR. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN

No experiments have been carried out which would enable me to give the hon. Gentleman the information he desires.
