== Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun == | |||
The [[Browning M2#Browning M2 Heavy Barrel|Browning M2HB]] heavy machine gun appears mounted on M1, M1A1, & M1A2 Abrams tanks, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, and Humvees. On the the original and A1 versions of the Abrams, the M2HB is on a powered mount operated from the Commander's station inside the turret known as the Commander's Weapon Station, enabling the Tank Commander to aim and fire the .50 cal without having to expose himself to hostile fire. The other vehicles however use manually-operated M2HB's. | |||
