Chapter 296: The M double machine gun that makes people love it

After seeing Lei Tiantang’s yacht, John hurriedly greeted the security personnel to prepare to pull the weapons onto the salvage boat. He was also curious about what weapon the boss bought this time. He didn't say anything when he asked him last time.
"Thanks for the boss! Let us leave the rest of the work! Let us see what you bought this time!" John jumped onto the yacht and said with a smile.
"Haha! I promise to satisfy you! Let's go! Follow me to the storage room and see you all!" Lei Tiantang smiled and greeted John and the security personnel on board the yacht.
As soon as he entered the storage room, watching the weapons and ammunition piled up in the entire storage room, John and the accompanying security personnel cheered loudly. The boss brought them too much surprise!
"M2 heavy machine gun! It's incredible! Boss, how did you sell such a big man! Except for playing them when I was a soldier, I have never played them again after I retired!"
John ran excitedly and stroked one of the M2 heavy machine guns like a lover. Several other security personnel also rushed to the past excitedly and began to look at these M2 heavy machine guns.
No wonder they are 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 "Wizard of Light Weapons," and was equipped with infantrymen, armored vehicle crews, sailors, bomber crews, and fighter pilots during the amazing 97 years of service.
Since World War I, M2 has had 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 can always perform on the modern battlefield.
On the ground, the M2 is used by the American Army and Marine Corps. From trucks to semi-tracks to tanks, the army treats it as a light anti-aircraft machine gun. The M4 "Sherman" tank M2 was installed outside the commander station.
The 0.50 caliber warhead and muzzle velocity of 2,980 feet per second also help to engage enemy infantry and light armored vehicles. The U.S. Marine Corps used an abandoned tripod M2 as infantry support and equipped it on an amphibious combat vehicle for suppressing firepower during beach landings.
Almost all fighters of the U.S. Army and Air Force are equipped with M2 heavy machine guns. Fighters use M2 as an offensive role, while attack aircraft and bombers use M2 as defense to prevent and intercept enemy fighters.
The P-51 Mustang has two rows of three M2 machine guns on each wing. These six machine guns provide this legendary fighter with powerful firepower 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 torpedo boats of the American Navy, and two M2s provided powerful firepower to aircraft and small ships. The M2 is also the main equipment of all U.S. Navy carrier aircraft, including the F4 Wildcat, F6 Hellcat, Fearless Dive Bomber, and Avenger Torpedo Bomber.
m2 is also equipped with a Catalina seaplane to provide self-defense firepower. After the Second World War, the M2 disappeared from some armies, but it remains in other uses. The advent of air-to-air missiles made the 0.50 caliber machine gun 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 Ospreys are also equipped with machine guns of approximately 0.50 caliber. The crew operates the machine guns from the rear ramp. The m2 is also equipped on the naval special operations river patrol boat.
However, on the ground, the M2 machine gun is as ubiquitous as ever. Like its ancestor M4 Sherman, today's M1A2 Abrams main battle tank has an M20.50 caliber machine gun in the commander's position.
The M2 provides the tank commander with a weapon with excellent killing and anti-vehicle capabilities, including the ability to penetrate light armor-a useful feature for a tank that only carries 40 rounds.
M2 is also equipped with Strake armored vehicles, multi-purpose armored vehicles and m109A6 Paladin self-propelled howitzer. The U.S. Marines operate M2 on their own Abrams tanks and helicopters, and ground forces still operate tripod M2 machine guns.
In 2011, the U.S. Army began to upgrade the M2 to the M2A1 standard, including quick barrel replacement, and a redesigned flame suppression device that reduced 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 alternative to the M2. Not only that, in the near future, no one really knows what this leap will look like. Maybe at that time, the M2 heavy machine gun will still play. Play its own role.
"Okay! Wait until you move all these weapons to the salvage boat and enjoy them slowly! You can also reminisce about the feeling of operating them! I equipped this 6-weighted machine gun with 600,000 rounds of 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 the various firearms brought last time. We don’t have to be afraid of pirates dressed as navy in some small countries!
You quickly organize it and use a forklift to transport all these weapons to the salvage ship! "Lei Tiantang smiled and interrupted these people's drooling~EbookFREE.me~ Have you all moved over? Boss, I think you should also leave some weapons on your yacht! Otherwise, if the pirates come over at night, your yacht There is no defense at all!" John quickly suggested after hearing the boss's arrangement.
"That's fine! Just leave me a single missile launcher and 4 missiles. Anyway, at night, the yacht will not be far away from the salvage vessel. A deterrent is enough. Other security The work is left to you!
I believe in your methods! "Lei Tiantang smiled and agreed to John's suggestion. Although there are no weapons that can hurt him, there is no problem in accepting such an arrangement in order to reassure his subordinates.
"Good boss! Guys! Work quickly! Lift these weapons to the salvage boat! Let those people open their eyes too! Let them know how proud our boss is!" John said with a smile.
Lei Tiantang and other security personnel were all amused by him. Lei Tiantang couldn't help but laugh and curse. If these weapons are really purchased from arms dealers, it is estimated that there is not a $10 million that cannot be bought. Weapons themselves are not worth so much money, but these weapons are all military weapons after all, and arms dealers cannot sell these weapons at the military's purchase price.
