Lily Sloane fires a Machine gun at Data in 2063.
A machine gun was a fully-automatic projectile weapon, available mounted or as a portable firearm, usually designed to fire cartridges of projectiles in quick succession from an ammunition belt or large-capacity magazine, typically at a rate of several hundred rounds per minute.
History and specifics[]
During World War II, mounted machine gun turrets defended bomber aircraft such as the Vickers Wellington. In the 2260s, James T. Kirk fired the turrets aboard a Wellington while escaping from a museum and three attacking Supermarine Spitfires. (TOS comic: "The Collector")
In 1986, military personnel assigned to Area 51 had a variety of machine guns available. (TOS novel: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh, Volume 1)
"Machine Gun" could be used as a nickname, either for a person known to use a machine gun or in a more metaphoric manner for someone known for rapid actions. Boxer Kid McCook was sometimes referred to as "Machine Gun", presumably due to a propensity to deliver punches at a fast-pace. (DS9 episode: "Past Tense, Part II")
