A maxim is another word for the Maxim machine gun. Invented by American inventor Hiram Maxim, it is widely considered the first real machine gun. It was water-cooled, and could fire 600 .45 caliber black powder rounds a minute.

Also, it was used by the British during WWI which was water cooled I believe.

Actually it was used by both sides during the war.

Really? I honestly didn't know that. Interesting. I assume the Americans used it as well? Considering they had the M2 .50cal as well

Also, have you ever fired a gun in real life?

Well, the closest thing I've fired was a BB gun, but I want to. I think it'd be cool...

I've fired real guns, and believe me, they're nothing like the ones you see in FPS'. They're loud, they're smoky, and they really, really kick.

I would think so, especially shotguns and Desert Eagles. That's why people where ear protection when they fire guns and stuff. I hope one day to fire one in real life.

Doesn't have to be real expensive. Maybe just a small .22 revolver to start out with.

Hmmm, I'll see. Maybe in the future. If I were to get one, I'd probably go for a Beretta or a Glock.

A quasar is a very energetic and distant active galactic nucleus which are extremely luminous.
