a notice

the photograph of the Hotchkis M1922 machine gun is wrong it shows a Hotchkis M1909 machine gun

Incorrect feed system

There's no information of footage showing Hotchkiss M1922 with 24 or 30 round strips, only 15 round strips are known and they are the only one mentioned in official gun manual. It's possible that bigger strips are a myth.

The bigger strip sizes are probably strips reused from Hotchkiss M1914 and/or M1909 Benét–Mercié strips. It's very likely that every caliber just used 15-round strips.

Only exception is the Spanish variant that uses 20-round box magazine. WWIIEnjoyer (talk) 16:09, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
