Total weight, ready for firing, is 38½ lbs. (Maxim, 67 lbs.).
Length, width and depth slightly less than Maxim.
Barrel casing is of corrugated steel (affording greater cooling surface).
Rear end of barrel—i.e., chamber—goes back into barrel casing, thus greatly assisting cooling of barrel where it is most essential.
Foresight is blade pattern, with protector.
No ejector tube or spring, there being an opening at bottom of breech casing through which empty cases fall. (Shutter requires to be opened before commencing firing.)
Tangent sight is 2½ in. nearer rear end of breech casing and is U pattern.
There is no buffer spring or resistance piece.
An elevating stop on outside of left-hand plate, this preventing the bracket head of the mounting damaging the fusee spring box.
No stud for the shoulder piece.
