	[[Browning M2HB]] heavy machine guns are seen mounted on USMC humvees. Note that none of them have any ammunition loaded throughout the movie; this is probably due to the fact that most of the movie's scenes involving M2HBs were shot in crowded public areas, and thus were not loaded, for safety issues, or the film armorer just did not have any ammunition available. The Browning M2HB features in a quite humorous scene in the film, when one mounted on top of a USMC humvee accidentally bumps into a truck due to the gunner's carelessness.
