Type 93 Machine Gun

The Type 93 Gunna Uathoibríoch (Ang. Automatic Gun/Machine Gun), or the Renner Gun, was an early man-portable, recoil-operated machine gun designed for the Fhainnin Royal Army in the 1890s by Mark Renner, one of the creators of the Llewyth-Renner Rifle. Machine gun weaponry had proven devastating in the Fourth Kin War, with more portable and modern Fiannrian weaponry proving more effective than bulkier Fanerian machine guns, which required a carriage to move. As a result, the already panic-buying Fhainnin military were eager to obtain a portable automatic weapon, which Renner delivered himself due to a disagreement with his business partner Llewyth.

The Type 93 operated tolerably for the period, featuring a water cooling jacket and an identical action and ammunition to the LR rifles, allowing for parts swapping in the field; however, the weapon proved to have a mediocre rate of fire and range. Regardless, it functioned well enough to see service through the Boreal War and was used extensively during the Fhainnin Civil War, after which it was replaced by the Type 16 Machine Gun. Later, the Type 93 saw service primarily in Dericania.
