The M2 .50 machine gun, nicknamed Ma Deuce by troops, is a heavy machine gun designed just after World War I by John Browning. The M2 .50 was used extensively as a vehicle weapon and for aircraft armament by the US during WW2 and is still in use today. It was very similar in design to the smaller .30-06 and .303 inch Browning Model 1919 machine gun.
