The term 'heavy barrel' comes from the fact that the original version was water cooled. The water cooling jacket was heavy as hell, but being actively cooled meant that the barrel didn't have to be super thick. The lighter and more mobile air-cooled version needs much, MUCH thicker barrel walls to soak up heat without failing quickly (along with an easily replaceable barrel.) Same difference between the M1917 and M1919. The AN/M3 aircraft gun does have a lighter barrel and receiver, though.
FN makes most of the M2's a use nowadays. There is one at my unit though, whose make I have forgotten. It was made in 1941 though. I think it is something these things just keep going.
As it IS fun to fire full auto in long cycles. They tell you to fire 3-5 round burst for maximum efficiency. Unless you are really hammering something to either provide covering fire or to take out vehicles... things like that.
Is there a big problem with jamming, especially in the desert? I've fired a SAW and (this was a gun shop rental) had quite a few stoppages, but those were easily cleared. I would imagine mil-spec .50's and SAW's are quite a bit better maintained, yeah?
@XtremeBordom thats the reason the japs didnt invade... there general went to harvard and refused to invade he said "there will be a rifle behind ever blade of grass." i know i would be fighting with my guns if we were invaded...
i just love to see the Browning .50 BMG IN ACTION! the sound is just amazing and so are the size of the bullets it just feels like the upper boss of firearms ;) REAL BADASS!!!
@GunWebsites Not to be a pushy bastard, but you seem to have a lot of time on your hands to do this. Is this stuff your job or do you have another occupation?
Hey I'm kind of new to guns. Just a little - I already know some things about firearms. But I've heard of the .50 BMG and I don't know what the BMG stands for. I know that .50 means the bullet is half an inch wide but what does th BMG mean?
BTW i hate to ask, but why do i see many people after shooting a couple of rounds pull the bolt another time in like 5:55-ish? Does it jam that much in dusty environments or...? I'm from belgium so weapons are like limited to WW2 relics :s
Damn, everytime something intresting is about to be said, some guy just has to go full auto and you cant hear anything >.> Love the sound of the gun, just would rather her them speak about the Ma Duece then listen to some guy fire right next to them.
As fun as it would be to own a full auto .50bmg gun, I can't help but imagine it's a belt running from my wallet shooting $5 bills downrange every shot.
@jonolikesbuster Dude, considering the cost involved in owning and shooting these things... it's probably a real rolex. These folks aren't exactly poor(but I do like their idea of fun).
@p8ntballer8491 Yeah, I think it does, they might have put an M3/M2 aircraft recoil spring in it, or maybe its just been shot more and the spring is getting weaker
lol it must b hard to have a conversation there . at like 2:00 some dude lets off like 50 round n i heard nothing ... i want this gun mounted on my car :)
@ironlungdtoker you better drive a humvee, the recoil tends to rip the gun off of most anything else. And if its mounted securely enough that it doesnt rip off, it might flip you over... You might be able to pull it off with a 2500 or 3500 pickup
Fun Fact: In california you cannot purchase or manufacture magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds.
Fun Fact 2: ammunition in belts are considered legal as long as the individual belts are no longer than 10 rounds. =) Makes a pretty good argument for buying a ma-duce huh?
At 3 to 5 dollars a round,, its more than the average shooter can afford. just fantasize about owning one. Its like that super model you wish you had but will never have a chance to get.. :(
Outstanding video, brother! Thanks a lot for posting it. It was straight up fucking awesome seeing that guy hit the shit out of that barrel so far away!!! That was VERY impressive accuracy and shooter skills.
