Type 93 Machine Gun: Difference between revisions

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.
