I believe this was used by the US Army and was used for various different jobs such as supporting fire etc however iam not totally sure when it was introduced and who invented it. If any1 knows plz post thxs in advance
The weapon was invented by John Moses Browning and it was adopted during World War 1. It was wildly popular with our European allies as well because of it's reliability, high accuracy, and ability to deliver rapid fire from a highly mobile platform, unlike the big, bulky machine guns at the time.
