The Browning design is completely different from that of the Maxim. The only thing they have in common is utilization of recoil energy for functioning.

I'm pretty sure the Germans impressed Polish Ckm wz.30s into the Wehrmacht during WWII, but I can't remember under what desigation. If anyone has that info, add it both to this page under the Ckm wz.30 note, and on the wz.30 page itself.

I hate to nitpick, but of course they had many, many features in common. Both water-cooled, tripod-mounted, fabric belt-fed.....pretty standard stuff for heavy MGs of that era. DMorpheus 15:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
