2. 8mm. Masch.-Gew. 1908
3. 5843A
The standard German machine-gun of the First World War, the MG08 was a water-cooled weapon employing the Maxim system of operation (see FIR 8095).
The version of the MG 08 adopted by the German Navy differed in minor details from the Army version (see FIR 9295), largely intended to make it more suitable for use from shipboard mounts. Navy MG 08s were also used to arm Zeppelin airships, which had naval crews.
