The Adams-Willmott was a British machine gun produced by Birmingham Small Arms.
History[]
The Adams-Willmott was produced by BSA in the early 1930s and marketed as an aircraft observer's gun. It was entered into Royal Air Force trials to replace the Lewis gun in 1934, but was disqualified early after the firing pin broke and could not be repaired. It also suffered numerous stoppages. The gun found no customers and was never put into full production.
Design[]
The Adams-Willmott was a gas-operated machine gun that utilized a tilting locking block. It fed through the top of the receiver and used flat-pan magazines.
