The Maxim gun was often treated as artillery in the early days. It was a long range, crew served weapon that was highly technical, expensive, heavy, and required specialized training. Not unlike the cannons in the artillery. They were often mounted on artillery platforms, sometimes identical to the small artillery of the time or sometimes specialized mounts specifically for the machine gun, which was lighter than most artillery and had far less recoil.

Here is my interpretation of one.

The Atlantic WWII Soviet Union Maxim gun is way too big for 1/72nd scale and I have a lot of the Esci ones, in both hard and soft plastic. So the Atlantic ones have been re-assigned to other uses. Here is one that is being used as the basis for a mountain gun. In the days before air support and helicopters being all that common, particularly at high altitudes, the mountain gun was important for use in mountains and other places where conventional artillery was too heavy.
This is part of my project to clean out the spares box and use up as many bits as possible to create a few useful items.
