The article from The Armory Life, written by Will Dabbs, MD, explores the historical significance and enduring legacy of the M2 .50-caliber machine gun, commonly known as "Ma Deuce." Originating in World War I, the gun was developed at the behest of American General John J. Pershing to counter German observation balloons and aircraft. Designed by John Moses Browning, with ammunition developed by Winchester, the M2 has been in service since 1921 and remains a staple in military arsenals worldwide. The weapon is praised for its robustness, versatility, and reliability, capable of being mounted on various platforms, including vehicles, ships, and aircraft. Though more than a century old, advancements like the M2A1 model have upgraded its features, ensuring the Browning-designed machine gun continues to be an integral part of military operations today.
