Invented in 1918 by J. Moses Browning, this baby can pour out .50 cal. slugs at a rate of 450-700 rpm., making it the penis enlarger of choice for gun nuts everywhere. Considered passé during the '80s, it has lately had a renaissance with the advent of new Multi-Purpose HE-I and depleted uranium ammo. Makes an insane din, and 31337 gunners can tell from the sound when a jam is about to occur.

Also lovingly referred to as a "Ma Deuce" from its designation M-2. Originally designed for indirect fire (see Artillery), when employed for direct fire, the "fifty" is efective against ground troops and more hardened objectives. Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock effectively used an M-2 for several of his 93 confirmed kills in Vietnam. One shot was 2500 yards, the longest confirmed sniper shot in Vietnam or any other war.

The "Ma Deuce" remains a major armament for many Armed Forces worldwide. ATF-Approved, semi-auto versions are available. Night vision is optional. Surplus linked belt ammo can be had for about $1.50 a round.
