NotesThe M1910 was the standard Russian heavy machine gun of the infantry regiments. It was a heavy water cooled weapon and the mainstay of the Russian army for two world wars. Many were either captured or left behind by the Russians and these were adopted by the Estonian army and these were issued to infantry and cavalry formations at regimental level.
