| | This did not imply a particular dissatisfaction with the Hotchkiss gun however, simply a preference for lighter models such as the Chauchat. | | | Variations of the Hotchkiss M1909 were however popular when fitted onto aircraft and tanks, where they were generally fired in short bursts. | | | The M1909 was produced by the U.S. as the Benet-Mercie Machine Rifle (adopted in 1909) where they were used during the 1916 expedition to Mexico; and by the British as the.303 Hotchkiss Machine Gun Mark I. To "dig in" was to entrench oneself in (usually) a defensive position. |
