| Notes | The 13.2mm Hotchkiss was initially rejected by the French army, but some were used on the Maginot line to cover river crossings. It was also mounted on armoured vehicles and could be mounted in single, double and even quadruple mountings. It was also adopted by many nations including Greece, Romania and Japan. |
