>Amerifats still use a century old shitbox as their main

>>33191189
The M2 is old, antiquated, and dated but it isn't our main MG. The 240b is, handed from the gods themselves

>>33191189
if you are so smart where is YOUR .50 cal MG design hmm?

No, we dont use .50's as our main system. They provide long ranged firepower and hella good suppression, so we mount them on transports on occasion. Our main is almost always the 240
Aso antiquated shitbox? The fuckin thing is one of the best mg platforms developed in history. Meanwhile Russia still has the world war 1 Dshk in service and nobody bats an eye
2/10 bait. learn to combat, fucktard

>>33191262
>The fuckin thing is one of the best mg platforms developed in history.
Yea, after FN dumped millions into modernizing it over the years and lobbying kept the XM312 from even being considered. Hopefully the XM806 gets somewhere.

>>33191189
well nobody designed a better one they could copy
a lot of american weapons, except the assault rifles, are just licence produced
handgun italian
SAW & GPM - belgian
AT$ - swedish

>>33191262
>Russia still has the world war 1 Dshk

apparently you live either in th 40s or in the 60' and confuse it for the DShKM, either way it was replaced in the 70s with the NSV

How dare you blaspheme our lord and savior Browning

Because it gets the job done to this day.

Lazy military is to blaim, we need to go to war with China already. I want VR tech.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

>>33191330
Hasn't the NSV been replaced with the KORD?

>>33191567
kinda

it's being replaced right now as older systems are going out of use

>>33191189
>shitbox
But I mean, it's not. Why would you even try to claim that? It's objectively great.

>>33191189

there is pretty much nothing wrong with it lol, why fix what's not even broken?

It was a serendipitous design.

>>33191189
Blasphemy against our lord and saviour JMB!
Are you forgett8ng that they tried replacing the thing multiple times and the Browning remained superior?

>>33191189
NSV and Kord sure are lighter, but that doesn't matter much since American's use them almost solely on vehicles.
Russians have some more infantry use for their's and sell them for such uses.

There are absolutely better options.Even ones that the US itself has designed. But the M2s still work fine.

The fact is that it would be expensive to change them, and they are not doctrinally important to improve like it was with the Russians and the NSV.

>>33192731
The OP's point was that the weapon was still in use, not that the weapon was always bad or something. Using the Soviet Union as an example of a historic user does not refute his point.

We have to wait till 2070

I was in an Armor company and several of our .50 cals dated from WWII

one in one of the other companies dated from 1918.

I dont give a shit what anyone says, those things are workhorses and go well on the top of a tank.

OP here.
You guys really are FUCKING STUPID. Literally.
Fucking rednecks...
You could at least use "sage" so the thread doesn't get bumped, but you're to stupid even for that.

>>33191189

We also use a system from the 1960's that still serves as our standard assault rifle design that even to this day will vastly out perform bullpups, kalashnikovs, and so on. Very affordably, too

Git gud, OP.

Lmao that shits a B.A.R. straight up you dumb honkey. FN has literally NEVER made an original design. Even crazy shit like the P90 and F2000 were copies of older designs.

Let's post obscure HMGs.

>>33191937
Superior? I don't think so.
Cheaper, however...
Heavy machine guns aren't a priority for the US (or anyone, really), and at that scale the economies grossly outweight the advantages of any other platform.

>>33193067
AA-52 is nice.
Limiting to obscure HMG is a bit limiting. How about obscure GPMG and HMG.
There are areas the M2 is superior.
