I thought that a key benefit of the Vickers was that it could be fired continuously, partly due to its relatively low rate of fire, combined with water cooling.

They were used for indirect fire, to cover a beaten area, often out of LoS of the firing guns.

Court Marshal for a burst that length. It would definitely overheat the weapon and strip the rifling.

As Fierce Kitty is away, I will take this one. Stand back everyone!   Which Marshal is it that you think should be courted?   Perhaps Martial would have something to say about it?     Ducks back below the parapet!

Although Fierce Kitty is away in sunny Italy I suspicion that he might occasionally be lurking (much like Ceiling Cat) and purring over your catch Mollinary.  Be ever vigilant and occasionally look up.

Still a beautiful machine. I never asked anyone, do tank enthusiast take these out on a range and use the weaponry?

There are a few videos on forgotten weapons when they do that. The one that sticks in my mind is the 37mm on the Dodge carrier.

Thanks, fsn. My favorite is the great lumbering and deathly pale T34 which reminds me of "War of the Worlds" (not sure why).
