Lobby Card for the movie Invasion USA (1952)

Invasion USA is a 1952 drama that depicts an enemy invasion of the United States. The enemy was never specifically identified in the film, but clearly meant to be Soviet forces (as the film was set during the height of the Cold War). In the film, enemy paratroopers jump into the nation's capitol, dressed as U.S. Army paratroopers and take over Washington DC as well as the rest of the country. An entirely wretched film, its popularity has increased since being lampooned on "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" aka "MST3K".

The following weapons were used in the film Invasion USA (1952):

A variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.
