The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 calibre machine gun is a heavy machine gun that was designed near the end of World War I by John Browning.

While similar to Browning's M1919 Browning machine gun, which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge, the M2 uses Browning's larger and more powerful .50 BMG (12.7 mm) cartridge.

The design has had many designations. The official U.S. military designation for the infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal. .50, M2, HB, Flexible. It has been used against infantry, light armoured vehicles, watercraft, light fortifications, and low-flying aircraft.

The gun has been used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the United States since the 1930s. It was heavily used during World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Falklands War, the Soviet–Afghan War, the Gulf War, the Iraq War, and the War in Afghanistan. It is the primary heavy machine gun of NATO countries and has been used by many other countries as well. U.S. forces have used the M2 longer than any other firearm except the .45 ACP M1911 pistol, which was also designed by John Browning.

Plus Model from the Czech Republic has a new range called Detail Print comprising 3d printed sets.

The latest in Plus Model’s 1:35 Detail and Print family is a .50 cal Browning Heavy Machine Gun. The set is made up from ten perfectly printed resin parts.

Clean-up should be fast and easy with all the parts being attached to their bases with thin strips.

Assembly will be equally straightforward.

Detail on the gun and the tripod is immaculate.

Given the long and wide usage of the Browning .50 cal, this new set from Plus Model will be versatile whether you are working on a WWII, Korean War, Vietnam War or modern subjects.
