-The Maxim in game is in the form of ZPU (aka 4M) quad mount which gives 4 barrels at its disposal. Although the animation for the gunner might be hilarious at first glance, but he certainly fulfills his job- hunting down careless planes or clearing out exposed crew of vehicles; thanks to the quad mount, the total rpm can go up to 2400 rpm, for those aircrafts which fly too low or too slow, few seconds worth of bullets can certainly ruin their day by either setting their engines on fire or straight up being "cut" by the pools of bullets. In cases where enemy with exposed crew, the last thing they can hear is the the sound of tons of bullets flying onto them, making it very effective hunting down rivalries with exposed crew.

-But do remember that there are nothing around the gunner (other than the gun itself) to protect him from even the enemies' coaxial machine gun or aircraft guns, so take cover at all cost to prevent quick demise; surprise the enemies in a sudden and drive away is the key to success. And do not expect a 7.62 machine gun can take down any armored vehicles with 10 mm of armor or more.

-After the Russian Empire imported units of Maxim machine gun for the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, the army was very pleased with its firepower to wipe out floods of enemies; later in 1905, Imperial Tula Arms Plant started their reverse-engineer on it as the PM 1905. With some revision made in the next few years, the new PM1910 was passed for service, featuring its signature gun shield and a multi-purpose sledge (which also serve as a gun mount) designed by A. A. Sokolov.

-The new gun then served in Russian Empire through WWI and October Revolution, sometimes in the forms of a Tachanka (a horse-pulled cart with a machine gun), then Soviet Union during the Winter Wars and WWII, sometimes in a quad ZPU/4M mount, until it was replaced by lighter machine guns like SG-43 with same caliber. The decommissioned guns were also sold or given to allies in Eastern Europe or Asia, where both side of China and North Korea used them extensively throughout the 1940s to 1950s; while its reliability also proved very well that even after more than a century since its invention, they could be seen in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian Conflicts where militia from both sides used PM 1910 for their own purpose.

The reliability of the gun is proven by the fact that they are still occasionally used by various forces to this day.
