Who was the Vickers .50 originally produced for?
the British Army
Vickers machine gun
The Vickers machine gun or Vickers gun is a name primarily used to refer to the water-cooled .303 British (7.7 mm) machine gun produced by Vickers Limited, originally for the British Army.
 The machine gun typically required a six to eight-man team to operate: one fired, one fed the ammunition, the rest helped to carry the weapon, its ammunition, and spare parts.
 It was in service from before the First World War until the 1960s, with air-cooled versions of it on many Allied World War I fighter aircraft.
Vickers .50 machine gun
The Vickers .50 machine gun, also known as the 'Vickers .50' was basically similar to the .303 in Vickers machine gun but scaled up to use a larger-calibre 0.5 in round.
 It saw some use in tanks and other fighting vehicles, but was much more commonly used as a close-in anti-aircraft weapon on Royal Navy and allied ships, typically in a four-gun mounting.
 The Vickers fired UK 12.7×81mm 50-calibre ammunition, not the better known US 12.7×99mm (.50 BMG).
The Rockin' Vickers
The Rockin' Vickers were a 1960s English rock and roll band from Blackpool.
 They were originally called Rev Black and The Rockin' Vicars, then abbreviated to The Rockin' Vicars, but in order to have a chance to get more gigs or even a record contract, they changed their name to "Rockin' Vickers".
 The band is most notable for featuring Lemmy, who went by the name Ian Willis at the time, later of Hawkwind and more famously Motörhead, as a guitarist (Lemmy did not start playing bass until joining Hawkwind).
 Their last single "Dandy", a cover of The Kinks song, was produced by Shel Talmy. Time Travelers (1976 film)
Time Travelers is a 1976 science fiction movie starring Sam Groom, Tom Hallick, and Richard Basehart.
 The teleplay was written by Jackson Gillis from a story by Charles Willard Byrd.
 The film was originally produced by Irwin Allen to be a remake of the 1960s series "The Time Tunnel" which ran only one season.
 The pilot did not sell due to litigation and was repackaged as an "ABC Movie of the Week".
 Byrd claimed and proved in court that his story had been used for this movie.
 The names used in the movie and the plot were nearly identical to what Byrd had written in the early 50's. Minolta AF 50mm f/1.4
