M2 Browning Machine Gun - USCGC Rourke

This is one of four US Ordnance M2 Browning .50 Caliber machine guns placed around the deck of the Legend class cutter USCGC Rourke (WMSL-882). Firing at a rate of 600 rounds per minute, the M2 Heavy Machine Gun has seen almost a century of usage for its sheer destructive capability and excellent performance in terms of both anti-personnel and anti-vehicle capability. It is favoured by many countries due to the multitude of different vehicles it can be affixed to and how many settings it can effectively be used in. The weapon can be operated by a single gunner, however a loader may also be present in some cases to assist with the weapon's operation.
