Heavy Machine Gun

The powerful L111A1 12.7mm (.50) Heavy Machine Gun (HMG) is an updated version of the Browning M2 Fifty-cal - recognised as one of the finest heavy machine guns ever developed. The HMG provides integral close-range support from a ground-mount tripod or fitted to a vehicle, using a variety of sighting systems. The performance of the HMG has recently been enhanced with a new 'soft mount', to limit recoil and improve accuracy, and a quick-change barrel. The HMG provides the commander with added capability at greater ranges (1500-2000m) when support from armoured vehicles is not available.
