The M2 has a mystique about it that instills fear in our enemies. The answer: Because it still keeps making holes in everything you point it at.

It is likely that the M2 Browning will remain in military service for another 50 years, and it is possible that the Space Force may incorporate it into combat operations.

Yes, Green adapted it AFTER Browning died. The basic mechanism is still Browning's regardless as to who completed it. The gun is still on duty because it works and is STILL a very powerful weapon.

A great many of the Ma Deuce receivers in service today were made in the 20s and 30s.
