Oh, I get it. You think the gun was mounted on the horse for whatever reason.
Rest assured, Maxim guns usually needed a small team to be operated properly. I highly doubt anyone was stupid enough to try and fire a Maxim gun from a horse.
But the thing is nearly 30kg heavy, so loading it on a horse to move it around is what you’d would do if you had the option.

Ah. Yup that was it. In hindsight makes sense they were just showing off what the captured - not how they planned to use it.
And now that it’s not really what happened I am enjoying the idea of a fictional version of a drive by on one of those.
