Home›Machine Guns And Automatic Weapons›Service Status›RetiredBrowse ByRetiredThis dimension marks whether a weapon system is still in active service, retired or still in development. Wikipedia notes that something repurposed or enhanced for war "is termed weaponized," a status that, like active service itself, can change over the life of a weapon system. Browsing by service status separates weapon systems still in use from those retired.FactsRetiredSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonEra of EmergenceWell-attested1884 1RetiredFilter Results38 entriesWeapon Type or ClassAllaircraft heavy machine gun (1)Aircraft machine gun (1)Automatic rifle (1)Heavy machine gun (4)Light machine gun (10)Machine gun (12)Medium machine gun (2)Modular weapon system (1)Multi-barrel volley gun (1)rapid-firing multiple-barrel firearm (1)Recoil-operated machine gun (1)Tank-mounted medium machine gun (1)Volley gun (1)water-cooled machine gun (1)CaliberAll.30 caliber (1).30-06 Springfield (4).30-40 Krag (1).303 British (4).45-70 Government (1).50 BMG (2).50 British (1).50 caliber (1)11x59mmR Gras (1)11x60mm Mauser (1)13.2x99mm Hotchkiss (2)13mm (1)25mm (1)5.56x45mm NATO (1)57mm (1)6.5x50mm (2)6.5x52mm Carcano (1)6.5x55mm (1)6.5×50mmSR Arisaka (3)6.5×52mm Mannlicher-Carcano (2)6.5×53mmR (1)6.5×54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer (1)7.35x51mm Carcano (1)7.5x54mm (2)7.5×54mm French (2)7.5×55mm Swiss (1)7.62x51mm NATO (1)7.62x54mmR (6)7.62×53mmR (1)7.65x53mm Argentine (1)7.7x56mmR (2)7.7x58mm (2)7.7×58mm Arisaka (1)7.92x57mm Mauser (8)7x57mm Mauser (3)8x50mmR Lebel (1)8×50mmR Mannlicher (2)8×56mmR (1)Introduced EraAll1861 (1)1862 (1)1866 (1)1884 (1)1889 (1)1905 (1)1907 (1)1908 (1)1909 (1)1912 (1)1913 (1)1914 (4)1915 (2)1918 (1)1919 (1)1921 (1)1922 (1)1925 (1)1928 (2)1930 (3)1931 (1)1932 (3)1935 (1)1936 (1)1937 (1)1939 (3)1940 (1)1963 (1)1964 (1)OperatorAllAustro-Hungarian Army (1)British Army (3)Finnish Defence Forces (2)French Armed Forces (1)Imperial Japanese Army (3)Imperial Japanese Navy (2)Imperial Russian Army (1)Israeli Defense Forces (2)Mexican Armed Forces (1)Red Army (3)Royal Air Force (2)Royal Navy (1)Union Army (1)United States Army (1)United States Marine Corps (1)United States Navy (2)Wehrmacht (2)Wars Used InAllAmerican Civil War (1)Anglo-Egyptian War (1)Anglo-Zulu War (1)Balkan Wars (1)Boxer Rebellion (1)Cambodian Civil War (3)Chinese Civil War (9)Falklands War (1)First Indochina War (11)First Matabele War (1)Franco-Prussian War (2)Ifni War (2)Iran-Iraq War (1)Iraq War (2)Korean War (13)Laotian Civil War (4)Mahdist War (1)Mexican Revolution (2)Nigerian Civil War (1)Philippine-American War (1)Russian Civil War (6)Russo-Japanese War (1)Russo-Ukrainian War (2)Second Anglo-Afghan War (1)Second Italo-Ethiopian War (1)Second Sino-Japanese War (11)South African Border War (2)Spanish Civil War (12)Spanish-American War (1)Syrian Civil War (1)Vietnam War (12)War of the Pacific (1)Winter War (2)World War I (10)World War II (30)Yugoslav Wars (1)ManufacturerAllArtillerie-Inrichtingen (1)Birmingham Small Arms Company (2)Breda (1)Breda (1)Cadillac (1)Carl Gustafs stads gevärsfaktori (2)Colt's Manufacturing Company (2)Fiat S.p.A.
