The Vickers machine gun or Vickers gun is a name primarily used to refer to the water-cooled .303 inch machine gun produced by Vickers Limited, originally for the British Army. The machine gun typically required a six- to eight-man team to operate: one to fire, one to feed the ammunition, and the rest to help carry the weapon, its ammunition and spare parts. It served from before the First World War until after the end of the Second World War.

History
The Vickers .303 medium machine-gun was the main machine-gun of the British infantry. It's water-cooled design made it bulkier than the German MG42, but it could maintain a sustained rate of fire over a longer period of time. Another trick was that the men of the dedicated machine-gun battalions trained in how to use their Vickers with indirect fire, so that they could fire bursts in an arc to suppress enemy positions ahead of an assault.
