		Maxim's other significant contribution to the art of warfare, smokeless gunpowder, was patented seven years after his machine gun, in 1890.

	AmericanHeritage.com / THE MAN BEHIND THE KILLING MACHINE
		Maxim’s device, which utilized the recoil of one cartridge’s detonation to load and fire the next, was the first true machine gun.
		Nonetheless, Maxim was extremely successful in raising capital, an invaluable skill for a man who described himself as a “chronic inventor.” He did so by concentrating on three technologies—armaments, the electric light, and manned flight—that were glamorous and commercially attractive.
		In subsequent refinements Maxim rifled the barrel and chambered it for.303 ammunition, added the water jacket, reduced the weight by using nickel steel, and perfected a universal mounting joint that was admired almost as much as the gun itself.
