The Browning .50 machine gun has been used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the United States from the 1920s to the present day. It was heavily used during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, as well as during operations in Iraq in the 1990s and 2000s. It is the primary heavy machine gun of NATO countries, and has been used by many other countries. It is still in use today. It was very similar in design to the smaller M1919 Browning machine gun .30-06 Springfield.<ref name="wiki">[[wikipedia:M2 Browning|Wikipedia entry on M2HB]]</ref>

The Browning M2 is the most produced Heavy Machine Gun, of which 3 million units were manufactured. | characterinfo design= === Design ===|craft=== Personality ===6:10:00|drop=== InCan be obtained from many battle stages from Chapter 3-Game ===2E onward.

During World War historyII, the M2HB proved its effectiveness when using AP and API rounds: the round could penetrate the engine blocks of low-flying aircraft, effectively burning the engine and forcing the plane out of the sky. The M2HB can also be compared to WWI's M1897 trench gun, in that German troops hated and feared the weapon. There are reports of Wehrmacht units breaking off from engagements once they heard the distinct noise of the M2HB returning fire.**The Aircraft Version of the M2, dubbed M2LB (Light Barrel) or properly designated AN/M2, had a lighter barrel and no cooling jacket. It also had a higher rate of fire (around 800 RPM) than the M2HB. The AN/M2 was favored by many USAF pilots and crews, due to its effectiveness at damaging enemy aircraft. This, and a massive ammo reserve, led to the AN/M2 becoming a primary armament for most U.S. aircraft. From the P-26 Peashooter to the F-80 Shooting Star, the AN/M2 .50 cal was used in early jet fighters until it was replaced by the more effective, faster-firing, and harder-hitting 20mm rotary cannon.**M2 was also became main defensive weapon for U.S medium and heavy bombers, from B-34 Ventura to B-29 Super Fortress.*In 1967, the famous sniper, Carlos Norman Hatchcock Hathcock, using an attached 10x Unertl Scope on an M2HB instead of his Winchester M70. He scored a , set the record for the longest confirmed kill of at 2.,500 yards, making him debuted as one of several sniper that using large-caliber machine gun for . This record was not broken until 2002. Though it has been quite some time since anyone went sniping role. Laterwith an M2HB, a .50 BMG considered useful and became a standard for Anti50BMG continues to be pressed into long-Material Sniper and largerange sniping roles out of anti-caliber Carbine role materiel rifles such as the Barrett M82A1and PGM Hecate II.<ref name="sniper">[https[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Hathcock Carlos Hatchcock bio Hathcock|Wikipedia entry on WikipediaCarlos Hathcock]]</ref>**Just before Hatchcock scored his first kill using scoped M2HB, it was adopted by There are photos of US Army in Chinese Line soldiers during the Korean War where he using M2HBs with scopes attached a same scope which Hatchcock used it , similar to the setup Hathcock would lateruse for his longest kill.<ref>[https://books.google.co.id/books?id=qIHKAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT763&lpg=PT763&dq=scoped+ptrd&source=bl&ots=htB_u3Z0e-&sig=H53YxLhQHrOl3e0unSMH3xILAxo&hl=id&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjOjer-l8HYAhXDL48KHSZ8C5E4ChDoAQhIMAQ#v=onepage&q=ptrd&f=false Scoped M2HB in Korean War]</ref>*Before .50 BMG Anti-Material Rifles became standard in the 80s, the US Cavalry experimented with deploying the M2 as a semi-automatic heavy rifle, known as the M2 "Anti-Mechanization Weapon". Unlike the standard M2, the M2 AMW consists of a spring-loaded shoulder pad, pistol grip with trigger, and T3 Prismatic Optic Sight. Though the weapon could be broken down into two pieces for transport, it was still excessively heavy, with the heavier of the two parts weighing 77lbs. Development of the M2 AMW was halted shortly before the US entered WWII.<ref>[https://www.forgottenweapons.com/browning-m2-anti-mechanization-weapon/ M2 AGW on Forgotten Weapons]</ref>*The Soviet equivalent of the M2HB was the DShK, uses 12x108mm cartridge that chambered in 12.7x108mm. This weapon was used by Soviet for Antithe USSR in anti-Air purpose air and infantry support in roles throughout WWII and the Cold War. While Though the DShK it was replaced by the NSV and Kord 6P50, the DShK is still used by several separatists and rebel rebels in nowadays conflictconflicts today. These days, both M2HB M2HBs and DShK was popularly equipped in DShKs can be seen mounted on technical truck trucks and several Main Battle Tanks.*M85 HMG was planned to replace M2HB for MBT and several APVs, however due the complexity of the M85 mechanism and unable to fit in M1 Abrams tank, thus making M85 rendered unreliable and scrapped from U.S Armament List.<ref name="M85">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M85_machine_gun Derivative Version of M2HB in Wikipedia]</ref>*The M3 Browning, was an improvement of the M2HB announced during WWII. Its It features electronical an electronically feeding belt mechanism, a modified barrel extension, and a lightened the bolt that increases its Rate of Fire up to 1200 RPM. The iron sight on Like the M2HB, the M3 Browning does not featured, because it mainly used comes in a fixed version intended for aircraft fighter plane armament and gun sight required for aiminga flexible version which can be used in a wide variety of situations, such as door gunning in a helicopter. Generally, M3 parts are cheaper over M2 and comes come in better conditionthan M2 parts.*During WWII, M3 Half-Track was Tracks were converted into Mobile Anti-Aircraft emplacement emplacements by putting an M45 Quadmount(4 M2HB that M2HBs which can be operated by single person, known as the M16A2 MGMC), popularly dubbed as the 'Krautmower' or 'Meat Chopper' . Maxson Corporation decided to develop The 4 -gun in single turret setup was chosen because the fire rate of the M2HB itself(450-550 575 RPM) was considered too slow for knock down to reliably hit German Dive Bomber, and the development was proved extremely effective during the wardive bombers. The M45 Quadmount became less effective against high-speed fighter fighters and jet-powered bomber in 50'sbombers during the Cold War, however they were still useful to suppress for suppressing enemy infantry in combat, especially until Vietnam War. Each of them gun held 200 rounds in M2 "Tombstone" Ammo boxammo boxes.<ref name="quad">
