Why This 'Genius' Canadian Vickers .303 Made 6000 Chinese infantry Surrender In 48 Hours

Описание: **Seoul October 14, 1952 - Hill 187, Korea. Corporal William MacDonald and his crew faced an impossible task: hold their position against 3,000 Chinese troops with a machine gun designed for the trenches of World War I. For 14 hours, their Vickers .303 fired continuously - 47,500 rounds without a single mechanical failure. This is the true story of the water-cooled weapon the Chinese called "死神" (Death God), the gun that wouldn't stop shooting, and the men who kept it firing when melted snow and desperation replaced proper water supplies. While modern air-cooled guns overheated and failed, this 34-year-old relic proved why some "obsolete" technology works better than anything new. Witness the most intense sustained machine gun action of the Korean War, where old-school engineering and raw determination turned the tide of battle. Based on declassified after-action reports, Chinese tactical assessments, and veteran interviews. This is the Vickers Machine Gun's finest hour - 12 hours and 17 minutes of continuous fire that military historians still study today.
