This site is dedicated to the belt-fed machine guns of John Moses Browning. The information here is primarily related to the .30 caliber weapons. There is some information on the .50 caliber guns, primarily in the WWII Aircraft Gunnery section. Click on the button to the left of each site description to go to that page. To return to this page, look for the "BACK" button (shown at right) on that site's main page. Please contact me if you find errors or dead links. I catch what I can, but still I miss a lot. I count on you for feedback. Thanks to all who have had input here through contributions of photos, information or feedback. This is truly a group effort.
