It kills me that these guys get little to no respect, nobody including myself can even comprehend what they went through, on both sides of the trenchs

the average Lewis gunner killed between 200-300 combatants or so I've read, not sure how that average was calculated but I'm sure it probably isn't far off considering it's a 12kg lmg

the Lewis gun was at the time probably the closest thing to an LMG at the time (WWI) and the majority of the opposite side carried bolt action rifles or no-scope snipers... it was a turkey shoot for
