The heavy Vickers machine gun has been used in two world wars, but it's still a favoured infantry weapon. Here a Vickers team of the First Battalion Royal Australian Regiment goes into action during a competition shoot in Korea. The Diggers were competing against other units serving with the first Commonwealth Division. They showed that they can handle the guns as well as their fathers and grandfathers did by winning the competition easily. June 07, 1955. (Photo by Britcom PR Photo).
