Vickers K machine gun
The Vickers K gun known as the Vickers Gas Operated (VGO) in British service, was a rapid firing machine gun developed for use by observers in aircraft. The high rate of fire was needed for the short window of opportunity when the observer would be able to fire at an attacking aircraft.
