The Pulemyot Maxima na stanke Sokolova /Maxim's machinegun on Sokolov's mount/ (also known as the Pulemyot Maxima PM1910 "Maxim machine gun 1910") was a heavy machine gun used by the Russian Army during World War I and the Red Army during World War II. It was adopted in 1910 and was a variant of Hiram Maxim's Maxim gun, chambered for the standard Russian 7.62 x 54 mm R ammunition. The M1910 was mounted on a cumbersome wheeled mount with a gun shield and was replaced in Soviet service by the SG-43 Gorunov, starting in 1943. Besides of the main infantry version, there were aircraft mounted PV-1 and naval versions.
