Browning M1917
The Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun is the immediate predecessor of the Browning M1919. This weapon saw heavy use from the opening days of World War I and 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).
