Walter Krueger translation
Of the other types the following may here be mentioned: Hotchkiss (France), insufficient cooling of the barrel by air; Schwarzlose (Austria), machine gun model 7, a very simple weapon which has only a single spring.
[277] In the Colt Machine Gun, which is not water-cooled, after 500 rounds had been fired, a cartridge inserted into the piece exploded in seven seconds, and cartridges placed in the chamber a quarter of an hour later exploded in 20 seconds.
