Trivia
- The Browning M2 has 2 variant: Ground and Aircraft which proved effective in every condition.
- The Ground Version of M2, known as M2HB(Heavy Barrel) has increased thickness of air-cooled wall with RoF of 450-575 RPM. During the World War II, proved its effectiveness by when using AP and API rounds: the round could perforate engine block of low-flying aircraft which effectively burn the engine and rendering it useless. Wehrmacht known hated M2HB during ambush against Allied convoy while being held and interrupted by M2HB operator which placed in armored Halftrack and Light Tank and forced them to take cover after hearing its firing sound. This became a second weapon which German Army hated aside of M1897 in World War I .
- While Aircraft Version of M2, dubbed as M2LB(Light Barrel) or popularly designated AN/M2 was favoured by many USAF pilot and crew which became a primary armament for every fighter and bomber plane of United States due the massive amount of ammunition reserve, decent firepower which able to perforate through enemy aircraft structure and damaging or destroying its parts, and higher Fire Rate of 800 RPM which faster than its ground version.
- Famous sniper in Vietnam War history, Carlos Norman Hathcock using an attached 10x Unertl Scope on M2HB instead of his Winchester M70. He scored a longest confirmed kill of 2.500 yards, making him debuted as one of several sniper that using large-caliber machine gun for sniping role. Later, a .50 BMG developed for long-range sniping and became a standard for Anti-Material Sniper such as Barrett M82A1 and PGM Hecate II.[2]
- Just before Hatchcock scored his first kill using scoped M2HB, it was adopted by US Army in Chinese Line during Korean War where he attached a same scope which Hatchcock used it later.[3]
- Soviet equivalent of M2HB was DShK, chambered with 12x108mm cartridge which used by Soviet for Anti-Air purpose and infantry support in WWII and Cold War. While the DShK was replaced by NSV and Kord 6P50, DShK still used by several separatists and rebel in nowadays conflict. These days, both M2HB and DShK was popularly equipped on technical truck and several Main Battle Tanks.
- M3 Browning, an improvement of M2HB announced during WWII. Its features electronical feeding belt mechanism, modified barrel extension, and lightened the bolt that increases its Rate of Fire up to 1200 RPM. Like the M2HB, M2 comes with fixed version which intended for fighter plane armament and flexible version which can be mounted for door gunner, or armored vehicle. Generally, M3 parts are cheaper over M2 and comes in better condition.
- During WWII, M3 Half-Track was converted into Mobile Anti-Aircraft emplacement by putting an M45 Quadmount(4 M2HB which can be operated by single person, known as M16A2 MGMC), popularly dubbed as 'Krautmower' or 'Meat Chopper'. Maxson Corporation decided to develop 4 gun in single turret because the fire rate of M2HB itself(450-550 RPM) considered too slow for knock down German Dive Bomber, and the development was proved extremely effective during the war. M45 Quadmount became less effective against high-speed fighter and jet-powered bomber during cold war, however they still useful to suppress enemy infantry in combat, especially until Vietnam War. Each of them held 200 rounds in M2 "Tombstone" Ammo box.[4]
- M2HB has a highest base damage among all MGs.
