Well to be a better answerer than the other people I think you know how it kills people!.

The machine gun changed the landscape of warfare forever as did many weapons that were invented between WWI and WWII!. If you watch movies like all quite on the Western Front you can see a whole new level of killing ability was obtained by the German Army compared to the rest of the world!. In machine guns you have a weapon that is able to hit defend a wide area efficiently from an enemy!. During this time other armies were still functioning using horses heavily in warfare along with the traditional line and flank movements which ultimately found its way to an end as trench warfare was accepted and later guerilla warfare became more of a norm utilizing more efficient tactics with smaller groups of people!. Ultimately warfare in its current form would be very difficult and inefficient if you had a weapon that is able to only shoot one at a time!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Bullets make holes in people!. If the bullet doesn't immediately kill someone, the hole lets out blood and people die from loss of blood!. If the person doesn't lose enough blood, the same hole lets in bacteria, and people can die of infections!.

A LOTof bullets, such as from an automatic weapon, make a LOT of holes!. A person is, even MORE likely do die!. If enough bullets go flying at any given moment, MORE people are likely to get in the way of a bullet or three!.
