Got to shoot an old water cooled machine gun years ago, don't remember what model it was. but talk about getting to handle a piece of history. pretty sure it was 8mm

Handling a Schwarz in combat requires great skill

The photograph labeled "In 1938, Polish troops train with Schwarzlose machine guns using a road as a defensive position" actually depicts soldiers of the Czechoslovak army. This can be recognized mainly by the characteristic Czechoslovak helmet vz. 32. The year 1938 could be the correct one.
