Master AM-72-031 British Mk 2 Browning .303 caliber (7,7mm) with flash hider is a high-quality set of four barrels designed for WWII aircraft and vehicle models in 1:72 scale. The modeled barrel represents the British version of the American Browning .30 machine gun, adapted to .303 caliber (7.7 mm) ammunition. This weapon was widely used as the standard machine gun on many RAF aircraft types.

Barrels with flash hiders were mainly used as defensive armament in bomber turrets such as the Avro Lancaster, Vickers Wellington, and Boulton Paul Defiant. They were also used as fixed-mounted machine guns—for example, in the Gloster Gladiator fighter and the versatile Mosquito.

This type of weapon was commonly used by British forces from the late 1930s, throughout WWII, and even after 1945 on some aircraft types. The Mk 2 Browning proved itself both in defensive roles (bomber turret gunners) and offensive roles (fighter and support aircraft armament).
