After regaining its independence in 1918, Poland had a variety of weapons available to its armed forces, including the Hotchkiss M1914 machine gun. The Hotchkiss fed from 30-round feed strips, and was gas operated and air cooled. It was fairly popular in its day, and was used by a wide variety of countries, including the US and Japan (the Type 3 and Type 92 machine guns were based largely on the Hotchkiss).
At any rate, we have a copy of a Polish manual for the Hotchkiss, thanks to our friend Hrachya in Armenia. We don’t see many Polish manuals, and we’re happy to be able to make this one available.
