  1. The USMC tanks in Vietnam had that same model of .30 cal. machinegun. If I was carrying it by hand, I'd either have a metal carrier for the hot barrel or an asbestos glove.

  2. Marines in the Pacific liked to use the ones salvaged from planes. Rate of fire was over 1,000 rpm. Called them Stingers.

    1. He looks as serious as a heart attack.
      I hope he survived the war and went home to raise a beautiful family. He deserved as much.

  5. Dude's toting a .30 Browning like it was a shotgun, with a homemade assault sling, and a carbine on his back.
    That's a cornfed big ole farm boy for sure.
