An evolution of the M3 .50-caliber heavy machine gun, it produces a blistering 1,100 rounds per minute cyclic rate of fire through the use of open-bolt operation and a dual recoil buffer system. Operating independent of either electrical or hydraulic power sources, the FN M3M™/GAU-21’s unique soft mount system enhances weapon accuracy and ...

The M2 machine gun or Browning .50 caliber machine gun (informally, "Ma Deuce") [13] [14] 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 ...

The M3 .50 caliber machine gun (also referred to as the AN/M3 .50 caliber machine gun) is an automatic, recoil-operated, link-belt-fed, air-cooled machine gun having a rate of fire over 1,000 ...

Introducing the CANiK M3, the ultimate 12.7x99mm (.50) caliber machine gun tailored to the demands of the modern battlefield, where the agility and speed of mechanized and air mobile units have evolved over the last 40 years. In line with the distinguished lineage of CANiK Heavy Machine Guns (HMGs), the M3 exhibits exceptional endurance with a ...

M3-HB . Built mainly on (New Old Stock) Korean war vintage parts kit's.These gun's keep 90% of there original Military configuration only using a new J N C Semi-auto side plate,Semi -auto trigger and semi auto sear. (FN conversion of Aircraft guns from the Saber jet's in the 1950's to ground gun use for Allied troops in the Korean war.)

The FN® M3P is a .50-caliber (12.7x99mm) single-barrel high rate-of-fire machine gun optimized for remote firing from aircraft, ground vehicles and naval craft and provides both offensive and defensive firepower ranging out to nearly 1,850 meters. When used in various applications, the FN® M3P is able to engage light armored vehicles and ...

2007年9月1日 · The M3’s fast cyclic rate increased the weapon’s effectiveness to the extent that a fighter aircraft fitted with six .50 caliber M3 machine guns had the same firepower as nine of the older .50 caliber M2 aircraft weapons. The M3 weapon was loosely based upon the M2 .50 caliber aircraft machine gun and had essentially the same exterior ...

What is the Browning M3 .50 Machine Gun? The M3 is a version of the M2 that was designed to sustain a much higher rate of fire than any M2 variant. It was originally only configured as an aircraft gun. The M3 is an improved M2. Why improved? In order to both achieve and withstand the high rate of fire, a number of weak areas were modified ...

CFD M3 .50 cal Machine Gun. Based on the standard AN/M3 - but a marked improvement over competitors’ currently manufactured models - the CFD-M3 is lighter in weight and provides a higher rate of fire while improving accuracy and reliability. Compatible with all existing M2HB mounts, the CFD-M3 is 15 pounds lighter than its predecessor.

It was soon evident that M3 guns still had major issues with reliability and part life, so FN began work on solving them. Thanks to advances in metallurgy and heat treatment, and many design modifications the M3 was radically improved. The way was open for the design of reliable .50 calibre gun pods and later, pintle mounted systems.
