Tactics

  • The armor piercing burst ability will allow the HMG to deal a lot of damage to enemy light vehicles.
  • Better penetration when compared to the MG42, so a .30 Cal HMG team in a building will usually fare bettter against an MG 42 team in a building.


History

The Browning Model 1917 Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun used by the United States armed forces in World War I, World War II, Korea, and to a limited amount in Vietnam and by other nations. It was a belt-fed water-cooled machine gun that served alongside the much lighter air-cooled Browning M1919. It was used at the battalion level, and often mounted on vehicles (such as a jeep). There were two main iterations of it; the M1917, which was used in WWI, and the M1917A1 which was used after. The M1917 was used on the ground and some aircraft, and had firing rate of 450 round/min; the M1917A1 had a firing rate of 450 to 600 round/min. A simplified, air cooled version of the weapon, the Model 1919 was adopted after World War I and saw action in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam conflict
