The 7.62 mm Maxim machine gun of the 1910 model is a Russian version of the British Maxim machine gun, which was modernized at the Tula Arms Factory under the guidance of craftsmen I. A. Pastukhov, I. A. Sudakov and P. P. Tretyakov. The weight of the machine gun's body was reduced and some details were changed: the adoption of a cartridge with a pointed bullet of the 1908 model necessitated changing the sights in the Maxim machine gun, redesigning the receiver to fit the new cartridge, and widening the muzzle opening to avoid too much shaking of the machine gun when firing. The English wheel carriage was replaced by a lightweight Sokolov wheeled machine, and the English—style armor plate was replaced by a reduced-size armor plate. In addition, A. Sokolov designed cartridge boxes, a gig for transporting cartridges, and sealed cylinders for ammunition boxes. The Maxim machine gun mod. 1910 with a machine gun weighed 62.66 kg (and together with the liquid poured into the casing to cool the barrel — about 70 kg). Maxim machine guns mod. 1910 were used during the First World War and the Civil War, they were used as heavy machine guns, mounted on armored cars, armored trains and "wheelbarrows".
