The legendary Browning .50cal latest update!
With the FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2 FN Herstal introduces the latest configuration of its iconic Browning .50 calibre (12.7x99mm) heavy machine gun. It includes several upgrades that improve maintainability and operational effectiveness as you can read about right below:
◾ The left handle is ready to take an integrated FN SmartCore® shot counter. This allows more efficient and cost-effective preventive maintenance, which improves weapon reliability and availability, reduces life cycle costs and extends operational life.
◾ The barrel is ready to take an effective flash suppressor. This increases user/platform survivability by reducing firing signature, and avoids degrading visibility through light intensifying or thermal night vision devices due to muzzle flash.
◾ A tri-rail assembly that provides a stable and ergonomic interface for optics, lasers and other accessories is available as an option.
These upgrades can be retrofitted to the large number of earlier-configuration in-service weapons, either in the customers’ facilities by their own armourers or by FN technical experts, or in FN Herstal sites.
Originally designed by John Moses Browning over a century ago, “Ma Deuce” has the secret to eternal youth: adaptation.
