The '''Browning M2''' .50 caliber machine gun is a improved version on the Browning Model 1921 .50 caliber machine gun, which was in turn a development of the [[Browning M1917]] .30 caliber machine gun. The .50 BMG round which the M2 fires is similarly a scaled-up version of the .30-06 round fired by the M1917. The M2 was developed in 1932 as a joint effort by the Army as a heavy barrel ground gun and the Navy as a water cooled anti-aircraft gun. The light weight version developed for aircraft and also used on PT Boats were developed in the late 1930. All three versions were used during World War II by the United States and its Allies. The M2 Heavy Barrel and M2 Aircraft have seen continued service into the 21st century.

The '''Browning M2''' (nicknamed "ma deuce," because "she always has the last word") is a belt-fed, short recoil-operated .50 caliber heavy machine gun based directly on the M1918 and M1921 machine guns, themselves scaled-up versions of the [[Browning M1917]] and [[Browning M1919]].
 
The M2's development dates back to WW1 and the introduction of the all-metal Junkers J.I ground attack aircraft in 1917, which protected its pilot with a steel "bathtub" which was immune to the rifle-caliber weapons mounted by period fighter aircraft. Worried about future developments, General Pershing requested the development of a new machine gun with a caliber not less than .5 inches and a muzzle velocity of at least 2,700 feet per second. John Moses Browning set about redesigning his M1917 machine gun to meet this requirement in 1917, and after a false start working with French 11mm Gras rounds designed for Hotchkiss guns, Winchester set to work scaling up their .30-06 round for the new gun. This was aided significantly by the capture of several German [[Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr]] anti-tank guns and their .525 TuF ammunition, which led to an improved final version of the .50 caliber round.
 
This led to the M1918 prototype and the water-cooled M1921, but this gun was sufficiently troublesome that it was not adopted, only being used experimentally. The air-cooled variant of the M1921, the M1921E1, would be the basis for foreign designs such as the Italian [[Breda-SAFAT machine gun]] and Japanese [[Ho-103]]. After Browning's death in 1926, a Dr. S. H. Green picked up where he had left off, redesigning the M1921 in light of the needs of the US military, creating a downward-ejecting common receiver design which could be modified to feed from the left or right (the M1921 could only feed from the left) and even featured a reversible charging handle, with seven different configurations for various uses. Colt began manufacturing water-cooled M2s for anti-aircraft use by the Navy in 1933: shortly afterwards the Army adopted their own air-cooled version, the M2HB (heavy barrel), and the Air Force a faster-firing lightweight air-cooled version, the M2 Aircraft, which was later replaced by the even faster-firing mechanically or electrically-boosted [[Browning M3]] during the Korean War. Later use of the M2HB as a sniper's weapon in Vietnam, particularly by USMC Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, would lead to the development of the [[Barrett M82]].
 
The M2 is the second longest-serving weapon in the US military's arsenal after the [[M1911]], and is employed by over 60 countries worldwide. It defined the modern use of the term "heavy machine gun" and has so far resisted all attempts to replace it, even replacing its own replacement in the case of the unreliable [[M85 heavy machine gun]], while the later [[XM307 & XM312]] and XM806 failed to enter production (the XM205 tripod developed for these weapons, however, did eventually get adopted as the M205, which is planned to replace the old M3 tripod for the M2 and Mark 19). The only major update to the ground-mounted version since its introduction has been the adoption of the General Dynamics M2E2 as the M2A1 (the export version is called the M2-HCQB) in 2010, with the main change being a fixed headspace quick-change barrel and fixed timing rather than the manually set headspace and timing of the original M2. The M2A1 also has a detachable barrel changing handle, a new slotted flash hider designed to increase the M2's compatibility with night vision optics, a modified bolt, and a manual trigger block safety (the original M2 has no safety, though operators would often make their own by jamming a spent casing under the butterfly triggers). Though the US military has not standardized a weapon called M2A2, several manufacturers market M2 variants under that name, such as US Ordnance (whose M2A2 has a semi-auto mode) and FN Herstal. Many modern guns are also fitted with aftermarket parts such as receiver covers with rail mounts for optics.


In the film industry the M2 Browning has been used in several configurations M2 Heavy Barrel Ground Gun, M2 Water Cooled Anti-Aircraft Gun, M2 Light Weight Aircraft Gun and as a Mocked Up Russian [[DShK heavy machine gun]].
In the film industry the M2 Browning has been used in several configurations: the M2HB ground variant, the water-cooled Navy anti-aircraft version, and the lightweight M2 Aircraft. During the Cold War when Soviet equipment was not easily available to Western armorers, it was frequently used as a stand-in for the [[DShK heavy machine gun]], often with mocked-up embellishments to make it a closer visual match. It is also commonly used to create sci-fi heavy weapons in live-action films.

Lightweight, faster-firing variant designed to be used in "flexible" spade-grip pintle-mount configuration or "fixed" configuration for turrets, wing mounts and gunpods: the latter would typically be fitted with a pneumatic or hydraulic cocking mechanism and solenoid trigger. Designated .50 AN/M2 by the US military, it should not be confused with the similarly-named [[Browning M1919#Browning AN/M2|.30 AN/M2]] and [[Hispano-Suiza HS.404|20mm AN/M2]].

Browning M2HB - .50 BMG

The Browning M2 (nicknamed "ma deuce," because "she always has the last word") is a belt-fed, short recoil-operated .50 caliber heavy machine gun based directly on the M1918 and M1921 machine guns, themselves scaled-up versions of the Browning M1917 and Browning M1919.

The M2's development dates back to WW1 and the introduction of the all-metal Junkers J.I ground attack aircraft in 1917, which protected its pilot with a steel "bathtub" which was immune to the rifle-caliber weapons mounted by period fighter aircraft. Worried about future developments, General Pershing requested the development of a new machine gun with a caliber not less than .5 inches and a muzzle velocity of at least 2,700 feet per second. John Moses Browning set about redesigning his M1917 machine gun to meet this requirement in 1917, and after a false start working with French 11mm Gras rounds designed for Hotchkiss guns, Winchester set to work scaling up their .30-06 round for the new gun. This was aided significantly by the capture of several German Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr anti-tank guns and their .525 TuF ammunition, which led to an improved final version of the .50 caliber round.

This led to the M1918 prototype and the water-cooled M1921, but this gun was sufficiently troublesome that it was not adopted, only being used experimentally. The air-cooled variant of the M1921, the M1921E1, would be the basis for foreign designs such as the Italian Breda-SAFAT machine gun and Japanese Ho-103. After Browning's death in 1926, a Dr. S. H. Green picked up where he had left off, redesigning the M1921 in light of the needs of the US military, creating a downward-ejecting common receiver design which could be modified to feed from the left or right (the M1921 could only feed from the left) and even featured a reversible charging handle, with seven different configurations for various uses. Colt began manufacturing water-cooled M2s for anti-aircraft use by the Navy in 1933: shortly afterwards the Army adopted their own air-cooled version, the M2HB (heavy barrel), and the Air Force a faster-firing lightweight air-cooled version, the M2 Aircraft, which was later replaced by the even faster-firing mechanically or electrically-boosted Browning M3 during the Korean War. Later use of the M2HB as a sniper's weapon in Vietnam, particularly by USMC Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock, would lead to the development of the Barrett M82.

The M2 is the second longest-serving weapon in the US military's arsenal after the M1911, and is employed by over 60 countries worldwide. It defined the modern use of the term "heavy machine gun" and has so far resisted all attempts to replace it, even replacing its own replacement in the case of the unreliable M85 heavy machine gun, while the later XM307 & XM312 and XM806 failed to enter production (the XM205 tripod developed for these weapons, however, did eventually get adopted as the M205, which is planned to replace the old M3 tripod for the M2 and Mark 19). The only major update to the ground-mounted version since its introduction has been the adoption of the General Dynamics M2E2 as the M2A1 (the export version is called the M2-HCQB) in 2010, with the main change being a fixed headspace quick-change barrel and fixed timing rather than the manually set headspace and timing of the original M2. The M2A1 also has a detachable barrel changing handle, a new slotted flash hider designed to increase the M2's compatibility with night vision optics, a modified bolt, and a manual trigger block safety (the original M2 has no safety, though operators would often make their own by jamming a spent casing under the butterfly triggers). Though the US military has not standardized a weapon called M2A2, several manufacturers market M2 variants under that name, such as US Ordnance (whose M2A2 has a semi-auto mode) and FN Herstal. Many modern guns are also fitted with aftermarket parts such as receiver covers with rail mounts for optics.

In the film industry the M2 Browning has been used in several configurations: the M2HB ground variant, the water-cooled Navy anti-aircraft version, and the lightweight M2 Aircraft. During the Cold War when Soviet equipment was not easily available to Western armorers, it was frequently used as a stand-in for the DShK heavy machine gun, often with mocked-up embellishments to make it a closer visual match. It is also commonly used to create sci-fi heavy weapons in live-action films.

Video games often make the mistake of showing the M2 ejecting spent casings out of the side it is not feeding from: in actuality the M2 only ejects belt links this way, with spent casings being ejected from a chute underneath the receiver.

Browning M2 Aircraft, Flexible - .50 BMG

Lightweight, faster-firing variant designed to be used in "flexible" spade-grip pintle-mount configuration or "fixed" configuration for turrets, wing mounts and gunpods: the latter would typically be fitted with a pneumatic or hydraulic cocking mechanism and solenoid trigger. Designated .50 AN/M2 by the US military, it should not be confused with the similarly-named .30 AN/M2 and 20mm AN/M2.
