Browning M2 machine gun has been in service with the US Army since 1933. I said my piece.
Not even assisted lol crazy
Bullseye. Bravo!
Nice shot
Don’t downvote me to dust, but is it possible the missile was hit with some other AA just as he was firing at it? How could he even see where to fire? Sound alone is unreliable. It also seems the explosion is farther away than those rounds would travel.
I actually was wondering if it wasn’t the M3P machine gun (a remote operated variant of the Browning M2) that is on the AN/TWQ-1 Avenger as it has a suite of sensors that allows it to engage at night and with the fire control computer and stabilization gyros, the gun can be fired with the computer calculating the elevation and lead required to hit the target. However, the rate of fire of this appears to be more in the 450-600 rounds per minute range and not the adjustable 950-1100 round per minute range.
There’s no fucking way this is correct. The .50 is only accurate to about two kilometers.
And against something moving the speed of a cruise missile? Lmao
Love all the cheering!
There’s no way I’d be driving down that road
When your warthunder anti-air skills is actually used in real life.
Virgin Ruzzian: launches cruise missile at civilian targets.
Chad Ukrainian: shoots it down with a fucking Browning.
Ma Deuce still doing her thing
Way to go ! A French helicopter did a similar job: killing drone with a machine gun. Couldn’t help thinking about the Battle of britain – same caliber machine guns !
Ma Deuce, still defending freedom.
Mr browning would be proud to see his work still being used in 2024
