Weapon Background

The M1919 Browning is an American .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The M1919 saw service in a wide variety of roles, as a light infantry, coaxial, mounted, aircraft, and anti-aircraft machine gun at various points. The emergence of general-purpose machine guns in the 1950's pushed the M1919 into secondary roles in many cases, especially after the arrival of the M60 in US Army service. The United States Navy also converted many to 7.62mm NATO, and designated them the Mk 21 Mod 0. Many NATO countries also converted their examples to 7.62 mm caliber, and these remained in service well into the 1990s, as well as up to the present day in some countries.

The M1919 was an air-cooled development of the standard US machine gun of World War I, the M1917. The M1917 was also designed by John Moses Browning, and was a water-cooled crew-served heavy machine gun. The M1917 definitely earned its 'heavy machine gun' designation: the weapon came in at a staggering 103 pounds (this is including the water and tripod). While the M1917 was a fantastic machine gun, as Browning had demonstrated during its trials when he fired the M1917 for a continuous 48 minutes and 12 seconds (over 21,000 rounds) with no parts failures. However, the weapon's weight made it unwieldy and difficult to maneuver into position. A lighter, medium-sized machine gun was needed.

After the conclusion of the First World War in 1918, the M1917 would be modified into the M1919. The M1919 uses the same short recoil mechanism as the M1917, but replaces the water-cooled barrel with an air-cooled barrel covered in a shroud. This dramatically cut down on the weapon's weight, with the M1919 coming in at 31 pounds. The change to air-cooling instead of water-cooling came with some complications, however. When it was decided to try to lighten the gun and make it air-cooled, the M1917's design as a closed-bolt weapon created a potentially dangerous situation. If the gun was very hot from prolonged firing, the cartridge ready to be fired could be resting in a red-hot barrel, causing the propellant in the cartridge to heat up to the point that it would ignite and fire the cartridge on its own (this kind of unintended weapon discharge is known as a 'cook-off'). With each further shot heating the barrel up even more, the gun would continue to fire uncontrollably until the ammunition ran out, since depressing the trigger was not what was causing the gun to fire. M1919 gunners were taught to cock the gun with the palm facing up, so that in the event of a cook-off, their thumb would not be dislocated by the charging handle. They were also taught to seize the ammunition belt and pull to prevent it from feeding if the gun ever started an uncontrollable cycle of cooking off. Gunners were trained to manage the barrel heat by firing in controlled bursts of three to five rounds, in order to delay heating. Most other air-cooled machine gun designs were fired in this way, even those featuring quick-change barrels and which fired from an open bolt, two features that make air-cooled machine guns capable of somewhat more sustained fire (both features that the M1919 design lacked).

However, by and large the most common variant of the series was the M1919A4. Production blueprints of the new variant were complete in late 1936, and production soon followed. The driving force behind the development of this variant was the suffering reliability of the 18-inch barrel of previous versions, which did not produce enough recoil to cycle the action reliably. The bull barrel was made much thicker and was lengthened to 24 inches like the M1917. Various other small adjustments to the design were made, such as moving the front sight from the barrel jacket to the receiver, which made it easier to mount the gun on vehicles. The design of the barrel jacket was changed to include circular holes instead of long slits of earlier models, and a recoil booster in the muzzle end improved reliability. The recoil buffer assembly was also a new addition to the design between A3 and A4 development, designed to reduce the impact of the bolt hitting the backplate.

The M1919A4 was used in both fixed and flexible mounts, by infantry and on vehicles. It was also widely exported after World War II and continues to be used in small numbers around the world. Two variants were developed specifically for vehicular use, the M1919A5, with an extended charging handle, and the M1919A4E1, a sub-variant of the M1919A4 refitted with an extended charging handle.

It is recognized as one of the precursors to the current 7.62x51mm machine guns, and one of the most prominent MMGs of World War ll.

Trivia

• The XM174 Grenade Launcher was based on the M1919A4. It features a 12-round drum mag, and was used in the early 1970's during the Vietnam War until was replaced by the more reliable Mk19 Grenade Launcher.
• She appears to be a quite short T-Doll in height, as the M1919A4 is about 38" or 0.96 meters in length, and it reaches her shoulders in her default damaged portrait. Also, one of her adjutant lines is an indignant "I'm not a shorty!"
