A 1919???? What in the world are these media flakes smoking?

For the uneducated...

The Browning 1919 is a .30 caliber belt fed machine gun. It fires the .30-06 or converted to fire .308 rifle round. The sample in the picture is interesting because it is sitting in the pintle clearly showing the large mounting hole in the pintle... this means it’s a gun that was sent from the USA to Israel.

The US uses a 7/16 inch mounting bolt while the Iraelis modified them to 5/8 inch. This gun did not come from the US if that is what these idiots are claiming.

The gun is capable of shots out to about 1200 yards accurately. It is NOT an anti-aircraft weapon and the M2 tripod is for infantry engagement of ground targets.

Also, I like how the gun is loaded. Frakking idiots.

Mike
