Which is pretty good
22lbs now
pretty good
Is noice
can't complain about the firepower
but to switch completely over to .338 WM
nope
Did they want to phase out the Bravo?
Or is this going to be in a different role entirely
no, they wanted to replace the M2HB
on vehicles and watercraft
because it weighs less and takes up less space
Ohhhh that's going to be interesting
I think it's not a good move
the M2HB is the most casualty producing weapon in inventory
that isn't an explosive
Lol replace the m2
I think it would be an uphill battle to start with, everyone that isn't lugging it around likes the M2 if I recall
What's not to like about it?
wow that's a 2012 article
I think the M2 should stay
Not worth the effort replacing it
"The ballistics of the .338 NM are far superior to the 7.62mm. At longer ranges it has ballistics similar to the .50 BMG without the need to carry around a M2 + bipod."
yea, the M2HB has great anti-material capabilities they'd be giving up
almost surprised they aren't considering 14.5mm since they want "Overmatch" so badly
Imagine if they wanted to phase out the M2 and attempt to make 6.8 their standard round at the same time
It would be a clusterfuck of such magnitude
Kinda doubt they'll be able to replace the M2, but we've seen weirder shit.
that's the other thing
they want 6.8 caseless
but they also want .338NM
jet nozzle on your .50 BMG gatling
>It's another episode of the US Military trying to replace the M2 .50 HMG in one of her roles but ultimately deciding she's fine and replacing her would cost too much
lol yea
Ma Deuce is, for better or worse, going to be eternally present wherever the US Military goes. There will be M2s on Mars.
It ain't broke so don't fix it
Someone post the m2 greentext about it being litteraly everywhere
