| - The Lewis gun holds the title of being the first practical light machine gun (disputed). Even though its looks don't suggest so, Lewis had been the ancestor of automatic weaponry nowadays.
- The Lewis Gun is an American designed Light machine gun that was used heavily by the Allies, particularly Great Britain, in World War I and, to a lesser extent, in World War II. The Lewis had a distinctive top-mounted pan magazine, similar to the later Russian DP, as well as a large barrel-shroud which was used to cool the barrel while firing. The design of the Lewis would go on to be an inspiration for the German FG42, which in turn inspired the M60 machine gun still in use today.
- Lewis Gun is a machine gun in CrossFire.
- The Lewis Gun (or Lewis Automatic Machine Gun) is a World War I–era light machine gun of American design that was perfected and widely used by the British Empire. It was first used in combat in World War I, and continued in service with a number of armed forces through to the end of the Korean War. It is visually distinctive because of a wide tubular cooling shroud around the barrel and a top-mounted drum-pan magazine. It was commonly used as an aircraft machine gun, almost always with the cooling shroud removed, during both World Wars.
- It can hold either a forty-seven-round or ninety-seven-round pan magazine and one of its distinctive features was its wide barrel even though the Lewis Gun was air-cooled. It had a pan-shaped magazine on top and was designed by Samuel McClean and U.S Colonel Issac Newton Lewis.
