On October 12th, 1858, Isaac Newton Lewis was born, a talented inventor whose name is associated with not only military, but also peaceful inventions.
His most famous invention, of course, is the machine gun that bears his name with a recognizable rotating drum magazine and air-cooling.
Despite the fact that Lewis was an American, and the first interest in his weapon was in Belgium, the production of the machine gun began in England in 1915, where it was immediately adopted. Its widespread use in infantry and aviation made it a widely recognized symbol of WWI. Its successful design allowed it to remain in service until WWII.

I remember 2 years ago, I kept petitioning for a gold order Lewis mg, for my Commonwealth gentlemen. I didn’t care if it were to be inferior to any other lmg in game. I wanted it (and the Maxim for Soviets but that’s another story).
Then they released this premium squad with Soviets gentlemen (using a Lewis mg de facto turns ppl into gentlemen), which was the next best thing.
And who would’ve thought? Thing in Enlisted can be used like a very hard hitting assault rifle. Ridiculously deadly.
