I haven't been tanker/cav in a decade, but I've lived with them...
Flex mounts allow you to do just that: take the M2 off the vehicle and ground them. Flexibility, especially these days.

The M1 and M1A1 tank have a tank commander's hatch with a cupola called the CWS (Commander's Weapons Station). The .50 caliber has no spade grips mounted on the backplate and can only be electricaly fired using a solenoid.
The M1A2 and the M1A2 SEP have a traditional .50 cal mount with spade grips It can only be fired "open hatch". It is a standard .50 cal. It is flexible.
