− | * [[1889]] — American gunsmith [[John M. Browning]] built an early proof-of-concept prototype of the [[M1895]] "potato digger" [[machine gun]] by modifying a [[Winchester]] [[lever action]] .44 caliber [[black powder]] [[cartridge]] [[rifle]]. Operation was via a lever located under the barrel, which operated the action when swung downwards. The lever was actuated by the [[muzzle blast]] operating upon it.<ref>Julian S. Hatcher (1962). Hatcher's Notebook. Stackpole Books. pp. 79–81. ISBN 0-8117-0795-4.</ref> The [[bolt]] is a rear-locking [[tilting bolt]], the first of its kind to be used on a machine gun.
