The Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun is the immediate predecessor of the Browning M1919. This weapon saw use from the final days of World War I, throughout the duration of World War II as well as both the Korean and Vietnam wars due in large part to its reliability and usefulness in the sustained fire role (made possible by the water cooling jacket surrounding the barrel).
The Browning M1917 machine gun can be seen in the following films used by the following actors:
