John Browning, Plus

[bigwheelzip]

After a century, JB's 50 is still being solidly anchored to our military. There's a new 1.5 billion dollar contract for these weapon stations.

Ma Duce never gets old!!! There is no school like the old school.

My son, a former Marine 0331, with his favorite.

This weapon constitutes light artillery. Could be John Browning's finest effort and that is truly saying something.

Still need an gunner?

With all the gadgets below, looks like it could auto operated. But I see it still has the Spade grips, so I guess that is all part of aiming system?

Could be automated with spade grips for “manual override”?

Yes, it's called CROWS, Common Remotely Operated Weapon Stations

There have been numerous attempts over many years to improve the M2, but they never got far from the starting gate.

A little hand-delivered Ma Deuce goodness.

This looks like a MK19 grenade machine gun to me.

 

[DWalt]

That is indeed a Mk 19.

Yep, sorry. I clicked the wrong pic.

John Browning was true genius......Everything from the 25acp to the Ma Deuce and beyond.

I shot a lot of machine guns in the Army, all were just ammo wasters except the M2 50 cal. That is a great weapon, really makes an impact.

The CROWS system is very effective and is ran via remote control from inside vehicle. It has a large range scope and so you don't have to pop your head out to see with the bad guys are!

It is remarkable that the M2 has endured despite some of its foibles regarding headspace (now fixed, apparently) and its mammoth weight. I see lighter designs out there like the Russian Kord, 56 lbs vs 82 lbs for the M2. Maybe the Ukrainians can "find" a couple for our people to look at.

Not many military small arms of any nation remain in active service, essentially unchanged, for over 100 years.

I put in a little trigger time on M2s myself. Still have my gauges.
Head Space and feelers to set firing solenoids in quad mounts.

Did you catch the video on Twitter of the Russian "mobik" riding to Ukraine with a Mosin?

Was surprised to see these still in use with the Ukrainian Army.

I'm going down the sports book to see what the over/under is on how long that optic will survive on a M1910.
