The Browning "50-cal" has become the longest serving weapon in the US inventory. The "fifty" has been employed in every imaginable role for a machine gun. It is considered such an effective and reliable weapon that few countries ever attempted to develop an equivalent weapon. Even the Japanese created a copy of it during World War II when the US was producing literally thousands every month to use in every theater. This is a history of the development of this famous weapon, its most critical operational use and the variants that have been produced to keep it at the forefront of the action.

I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in weapons or Military History. --Model Military International
All in all this is another fantastic addition to the Osprey Weapon range and I think it will be very useful to modellers and enthusiasts alike. Very highly recommended. --Military Modelcraft International
A war-winning weapon that is likely to mark its 100th anniversary still in use, few weapons can claim to be more significant in effecting the way wars are fought.

Softcover. Condizione: Good. Gilliland, Alan; Shumate, Johnny (illustratore). Osprey's new Weapon series provides a highly-detailed yet affordable overview of the development, use, and impact of small arms throughout history-from the sword to the machine gun.In this volume, Gordon Rottman examines this history of the longest serving weapon in the U.S. military's small arms inventory. Thoroughly researched and illustrated with rare photographs and original artwork by Johnny Shumate, the book takes readers from the origins of the fifty on the battlefields of World War I (1914-1918) to its use in the war on terror today. Rottman provides lists of the companies that manufactured the Browning and analyzes the variants that have arisen over the years since it first entered service in 1933. He also provides descriptions and photos of how it was used on aircraft, ships, riverboats, tanks, Humvees, and by ground forces. A cutaway illustration from Alan Gilliland details the parts of the weapon and a final chapter dispels myths told about it. Codice articolo SONG1849083304
