When Ma Duce Speaks-Lookout!

For almost a hundred years, the Browning Machine Gun Cal .50 M2-"Ma Duce" has been a mainstay of the American Military.

From arming warplanes, warships, AFV's, trucks, jeeps vehicles of all types to the ground units, of the USMC, Army Navy, Air Force and even the Coast Guard have all used MA Duce's in every American conflict since the 1930's. In single mounts like this, up to quad mounts on M16 halftracks ("Meatchoppers") the support they have given to the American foot soldier has been truly massive.

Firing its .50 cal. (12.7mm) at 600 rounds per minute, Ma Duce is a devastating weapon that can easily punch though a half inch of armor. Over 3 million have been produced since 1921, while the improved versions of Ma Duce show that this famous weapon will continue to see active service into the fore seeable future.

This Ma Duce paratroop team is a metal piece from Warlord Games that I painted in July.
