In 1901, John Moses Browning filed US Patent 678937 for an automatic recoil loader. The construction found little favor with the US Army Ordnance Department. The M1917 was basically an evolution of this patent. The Browning M1917 is a water-cooled machine gun. Air-cooled experimental weapons led after the First World War to the lighter M1919, which was built mechanically the same. The Browning MG externally resembles the [[Maxim]] machine gun and has a similar belt feeder. Both have short-recoil operation of the barrel and bolt locking system in the housing. Nevertheless, they are greatly different mechanically. The Maxim has a toggle-lock action lock similar to that of the [[Luger P08]], while the Browning MG bolt and barrel are locked by a steel block. The Browning M1917 is slightly lighter than the Maxim and just as reliable. The [[Browning M1918]] is a further development for aircraft service.

The Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun is the immediate predecessor of the Browning M1919. This weapon saw use from the final days of World War I, throughout the duration of World War II as well as both the Korean and Vietnam wars due in large part to its reliability and usefulness in the sustained fire role (made possible by the water cooling jacket surrounding the barrel).

In 1901, John Moses Browning filed US Patent 678937 for an automatic recoil loader. The construction found little favor with the US Army Ordnance Department. The M1917 was basically an evolution of this patent. The Browning M1917 is a water-cooled machine gun. Air-cooled experimental weapons led after the First World War to the lighter M1919, which was built mechanically the same. The Browning MG externally resembles the Maxim machine gun and has a similar belt feeder. Both have short-recoil operation of the barrel and bolt locking system in the housing. Nevertheless, they are greatly different mechanically. The Maxim has a toggle-lock action lock similar to that of the Luger P08, while the Browning MG bolt and barrel are locked by a steel block. The Browning M1917 is slightly lighter than the Maxim and just as reliable. The Browning M1918 is a further development for aircraft service.

The M1917A1 is an updated variant, developed in the 1930s. Recognizable by the bottom plate, which had side flanges and a positive locking top cover hinge pin.

In 1930, Poland adopted the Ckm wz. 30, a clone of the M1917.
