	Vickers machine gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The machine gun typically required a six to eight-man team to operate: one to fire, one to feed the ammunition, and the rest to help carry the weapon, its ammunition and spare parts.
		The gun was usually fitted with a form of synchronizer gear to allow it to fire through aircraft propellers, and slots were cut in the water jacket so that it was cooled by air flow instead.
		As the machine gun armament of fighters moved from the fuselage to the wings in the years before WW2, the Vickers with its cloth belts was replaced by the Browning Model 1919 with metal clips in some aircraft, especially fighters.

	AMX-30
		As a result, the AMX-30 was underprotected and vulnerable by the standards set by contemporary American and, in particular, British and German tanks, let alone by the Soviet tanks of the period.
		The 105mm gun had become almost mandatory by that time, but the French, already considering their position in NATO, opted for a gun of that caliber of their own - the GIAT CN-105-F1- which was not compatible in terms of ammunition with the British L7, the American M68 derivative or the later Rheinmetall Rh-105.
		As secondary armament, the original AMX-30 had a conventional 12.7mm machine gun in a co-axial mount, but this was later changed to a 2Omm GIAT M693 cannon with dual ammunition feed, which was also fitted to the AMX-40.
