Maxim M1910 machine gunSource Pathfinder #71: Rasputin Must Die! pg. 64StatisticsCost 1,500 gp Weight 140 lbs.
Damage 2d8 (medium); Critical x4; Range 120 ft.; Type B and P; Special automatic
Misfire 1-2; Capacity 250
Category Two-Handed; Proficiency ExoticDescriptionThis heavy machine
gun uses 7.62 54mmR ammunition in 250-round belts.
Although a single person can fire a Maxim, it typically has
a two-person crew: the gunner, and a loader who assists
with feeding the ammunition belt into the weapon. As a
full-round action, the loader can use a special aid another
action to grant the gunner a +2 bonus on his next attack roll. Because of its size and heavy weight, a Maxim is often
either mounted on a wheeled chassis with a gun shield
for trench defensive use, or on the back of a horse-drawn
wagon called a tachanka (see page 67). Assuming a user
can even lift the weapon, firing a Maxim M1910 machine
gun that is not mounted imparts a –4 penalty on attack
rolls and the recoil knocks the wielder prone. The Maxim
M1910 is automatic-fire only. The armored shield provides
cover when firing the weapon from the prone position.
