I have a little black hole

296 M2 Heavy Machine Gun

After seeing Lei Tiantang's yacht come back, John quickly greeted the security personnel to prepare to pull the weapon to the salvage boat. He was also curious about what weapon the boss bought this time. He asked him last time and he did not say.

"Hard work boss! Let us do the rest! Hurry and let us see what good goods you bought this time!" John jumped on the yacht and said with a smile.

"Haha! Guarantee to make you satisfied! Let's go! Follow me to the storage room to see if you know it!" Lei Tiantang smiled and greeted John and the security personnel on board the yacht.

As soon as he entered the storage room and looked at the weapons and ammunition almost filled with the entire storage room, John and the accompanying security personnel cheered loudly. It was really a surprise that the boss brought them!

"M2 heavy machine gun! It's incredible! Boss, how did you sell such a big man! I haven't played them anymore after I retired except playing them when I was a soldier!"

John ran excitedly and stroked one of the M2 heavy machine guns like a lover. Several other security personnel also excitedly rushed to the past and began to check these M2 heavy machine guns.

No wonder they will be so happy. The M2 heavy machine gun is one of the most important weapons in the American arsenal and one of the oldest weapons, but its importance is irreplaceable!

The M2 heavy machine gun was developed by John Browning, known as the "light weapon wizard", and was equipped with infantry, armored vehicle crew, sailors, bomber crew and fighter pilots during an amazing 97 years of service.

Since World War I, M2 has a place in every conflict, and it seems destined to serve another quarter of a century or more.The M2 machine gun is a rare example of a well-designed weapon that always plays a role in the modern battlefield.

On the ground, the M2 American Army and Marine Corps are used.From trucks to half-tracks to tanks, the army treats it as a light anti-aircraft machine gun.M4 "Sherman" tank M2 is installed outside the commander station.

The 0.50-caliber warhead and muzzle velocity of 2980 feet per second also help combat enemy infantry and light armored vehicles.The American Marines used an abandoned M2 as an infantry support and equipped it with an amphibious tank to suppress firepower when landing on the beach.

Almost all American Army Air Force fighters are equipped with M2 heavy machine guns.Fighters use M2 as an offensive role, while attackers and bombers use M2 as a defense to prevent and intercept enemy fighters.

The P-51 Mustang has two rows of three M2 machine guns per wing. These six machine guns provide this legendary fighter with powerful combat fire against air and ground targets.The P-47 and P-38 are also equipped with M2, as are the B-25, B-26, B-17 and B-29 bombers.

At sea, the "M2" was equipped on the American Navy patrol torpedo boat, and two M2s provided powerful firepower to the aircraft and small ships.M2 is also the main equipment of all American naval carrier aircraft, including F4 Wildcat, F6 Hellcat, Intrepid Dive Bomber and Avengers Torpedo Bomber.

m2 is also equipped with a Catalina seaplane to provide self-defense firepower.After World War II, M2 disappeared from some armies, but remained in other uses.The advent of air-to-air missiles made 0.50 caliber machine guns obsolete in modern air combat, although the B-52D heavy strategic bomber retained four M2s in the rear turret for self-defense purposes.

Black Hawk helicopters and MV-22 Osprey aircraft are also equipped with approximately 0.50 caliber machine guns. The crew operates the machine guns from the rear ramp.The m2 is also equipped on the Navy’s special operations river patrol boat.

However, on the ground, M2 machine guns are everywhere as always.Just like its ancestor M4 Sherman, today's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank has an M20.50 caliber machine gun in the position of the captain.

The M2 provides the tank commander with a weapon with excellent killing and anti-vehicle capabilities, including the ability to penetrate light armor-this is a useful feature for tanks that only carry 40 rounds of ammunition.

M2 is also equipped with Stryker armored vehicles, multi-purpose armored vehicles and m109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzer.The American Marines operate the M2 on their own Abrams tanks and helicopters, and the ground forces still operate the tripod M2 machine gun.

In 2011, the American Army began to upgrade the M2 to the M2A1 standard, including the rapid replacement of the barrel and the redesigned gun flame suppression device, which reduced the muzzle flash by 95%.Obviously, the Army plans to use the M2 series for 10 years or more.

This will require a huge leap in light weapons technology to create a valuable substitute for M2. Not only that, in the near future, no one really knows what this leap will look like, and perhaps at that time, the M2 heavy machine gun will still play. Plays its role.

"Okay! Wait until you move these weapons to the salvage ship and appreciate them slowly! You can also relive the feeling of operating them! I have equipped these 6 heavier machine guns with 600,000 bullets! It should be enough for you!

There are also 76 missiles purchased, plus 24 produced, a total of 100 individual missiles, and 4 more launchers, plus these heavy machine guns and the bullets of various firearms brought last time, We don’t have to be afraid even if they are pirates dressed up in the navy of some small countries!

Hurry up and organize all these weapons to the salvage ship with a forklift!"Lei Tiantang smiled and interrupted the drooling of these people.

"Have you moved over? Boss, I think you have some weapons on your yacht too! Otherwise, if the pirate comes over at night, you will have no defense on your yacht!" John quickly suggested after hearing the boss's arrangement.

"That's okay! Just leave me a single missile launcher and 4 missiles. Anyway, the yacht will not be far away from the salvage boat at night. A deterrent is enough. Other security The job is yours!

I believe your means!Lei Tiantang smiled and agreed with John’s suggestion. Although there were no weapons to hurt him, in order to reassure his men, there was no problem in accepting this arrangement.

"Good boss! Guys! Work quickly! Hang these weapons on the salvage boat! Let those people open their eyes! Let them know how proud our boss is!" John said with a smile.

Both Lei Tiantang and other security personnel were delighted by him. Lei Tiantang couldn't help but laughed and scolded. If these weapons are really to be purchased from arms dealers, it is estimated that there is no $10 million that cannot be bought. Weapons themselves are not worth so much money, but these weapons are, after all, military weapons. It is impossible for arms dealers to sell these weapons at the purchase price of the military.
