Historical Information and Application

The Browning M2 .50 caliber (12.7 mm) machine gun armed many legendary bombers and transport planes of the United States Army during World War II and beyond—up to the Korean and Vietnam Wars. It was most often found on bombers such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and B-25 Mitchell as a movable onboard weapon operated by waist gunners. It enabled effective air defense against enemy fighters, significantly increasing the crew's chances of survival in combat.

The Browning M2 has been successfully used from the 1930s to the present day in different versions and modifications around the world, mainly by the United States and its allies.
