**RARE**WW1 British WD & WW2 Australian Lithgow Marked Vickers Heavy Machine Gun Cooling Jacket Brass Coupling & Oil / Water Rubber Cooling / Steam Hose By Waxman Industries Ltd. MISC 824 - MISC 824 The Vickers was a water-cooled weapon. Each water-jacket contained 7.5 pints of water when full. The rate of boiling depended upon the rate of fire.

Experiments were overseen by the Small Arms Committee and included oil as well as water initially.

During the Cold War period, the Type-56 was exported to many countries and guerrilla forces throughout the world. Many of these rifles found their way to battlefields in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East and were used alongside other Kalashnikov pattern weapons from both the Soviet Union as well the Warsaw Pact nations of Eastern Europe. Chinese support for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam before the mid-1960s meant that the Type-56 was frequently encountered by American soldiers in the hands of either Vietcong guerrillas or PAVN soldiers during the Vietnam war.
