The testing of the Maxim gun went quite smoothly. After completing all tests, it naturally came to the military's discussions about purchase quantities.
It is currently certain that the Maxim gun wields exceptionally powerful firepower on the battlefield, which current rifles do not possess.
The firepower of artillery is, of course, very powerful, but such heavy firepower of artillery is more suited to dealing with enemy fortresses and strongholds, particularly in large-scale siege wars.
However, machine guns can play a significant role in both offensive and defensive battles, causing great harm to the enemy's manpower, something artillery cannot achieve.
Therefore, for the Spanish Military, it's only a question of how many machine guns to purchase, not whether to purchase them.
