.50 Caliber Heavy Machine Gun (12.7mm)

The .50 Caliber Heavy Machine Gun chambered in 12.7×99mm NATO (.50 BMG) provides military units with a high-powered crew-served weapon capable of defeating personnel, light armored vehicles, and low-flying aerial threats at ranges beyond 2000 meters. The M2HB-pattern recoil-operated, air-cooled design has been continuously refined since its introduction, offering proven reliability under the most demanding combat conditions worldwide. The quick-change barrel (QCB) modification allows barrel replacement in under 10 seconds without headspace adjustment tools, dramatically improving sustained fire performance in the field. Pintle, tripod, and vehicle mount interfaces provide flexible deployment on Humvees, MRAPs, APCs, helicopters, and naval vessels. The weapon accepts standard M33 ball, M8 API, M20 APIT, and M903 SLAP armor-piercing rounds.
