Another of John M. Brownings masterpieces, the Model 1919 was originally developed as a general purpose machine gun for the U.S. Cavalry, for use in its tanks and armoured cars or, in the ground role mounted on a tripod. The U.S. Infantry liked the weapon so much that during WW? they introduced both a rifle-style butt in addition to the more familiar pistol grip. The heavy barrel was air-cooled using a perforated jacket. The guns tripod mount could be adjusted allowing the gunner to utilise both the sitting and lying prone positions. Our 2-man team are in the prone position with the guns Number 2 feeding the ammunition belt into the M1919 with his M1 Garand lying next to him.
