Historia
Diseñada cerca del final de la World War I por el famoso inventor de armas John Browning, la M2 entró en servicio general en 1933. Fue construida alrededor de un cartucho grande de calibre .50 capaz de detener vehículos ligeros y aviones.
Durante la World War II, el arma se montó en tanques, jeeps, bombarderos y patrulleras navales de todas las fuerzas aliadas. Su increíble potencia de fuego y su largo alcance hicieron que las fuerzas terrestres enemigas le tuvieran miedo.
La 'Ma Deuce' demostró ser tan duradera y efectiva que las naciones aliadas y de la NATO la mantuvieron en servicio de primera línea sin cambios importantes durante la Korean War, la Vietnam War y toda la Cold War.
