== Description ==
''Write an introduction to the article in 2-3 small paragraphs. Briefly tell us about the history of the development and combat using the weaponry and also about its features. Compile a list of air, ground, or naval vehicles that feature this weapon system in the game.''

=== Vehicles equipped with this weapon ===


* {{Specs-Link|jp_battleship_settsu}}

== General info ==
''Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.''

=== Available ammunition ===
''Describe the shells that are available for the weapon and their features and purpose. If it concerns autocannons or machine guns, write about different ammo belts and what is inside (which types of shells).''

=== Comparison with analogues ===
''Give a comparative description of cannons/machine guns that have firepower equal to this weapon.''

== Usage in battles ==
''Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.''

=== Pros and cons ===
''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.''

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''

== Media ==
''Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.''

== See also ==
''Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:''
* ''reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;''
* ''references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.''

== External links ==
''Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:''

 When the IJA adopted the Maxim gun, it was chambered in 6.5 Arisaka. It was used experimentally as a heavy machine during the 1904-1905 Russo-Japanese War. It was used alongside the French Hotchkiss Mle.1900 which they would standardize after the war ended leading to licensed production as the [[Type 38 pattern 1907 (6.5 mm)|Type 38 pattern 1907]].
-In 1896, the Vickers company absorbed Maxim's manufacturing company which was a subsidiary and they improved the design into the [[Vickers (7.7 mm)|Vickers gun]] which became the replacement in British service and phased out the Maxim in British Army service by the time of World War I. The Maxim would, however, see action during World War I in the Allied Powers with the Russian [[Maxim's (7.62 mm)|Pulemyot Maxim]] and the Central Powers with the German [[GM08 pattern 1908 (7.92 mm)|GM08 pattern 1908]].

 == History ==
 The Imperial Japanese Army of the Meiji Era (1968-1914) were always keeping an eye eastward to Europe with new arms development carefully tracked to keep their forces armed with the most modern equipment. For example in 1895 the IJA purchased machine guns for use in combat including the venerable Maxim gun.
