[PAR] [TLE] M2 Browning [SEP] The M2 Machine Gun or Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun is a heavy machine gun designed toward the end of World War I by John Browning.  Its design is similar to Browning's earlier M1919 Browning machine gun, which was chambered for the .30-06 cartridge.  The M2 uses the much larger and much more powerful .50 BMG cartridge, which was developed alongside and takes its name from the gun itself (BMG standing for "Browning Machine Gun").  It has been referred to as "Ma Deuce", in reference to its M2 nomenclature.  The design has had many specific designations; the official designation for the current infantry type is Browning Machine Gun, Cal.  .50, M2, HB, Flexible.  It is effective against infantry, unarmored or lightly armored vehicles and boats, light fortifications and low-flying aircraft.  The M2 has been produced longer than any other machine gun. [PAR] [TLE] .50 BMG [SEP] The .50 Browning Machine Gun (.50 BMG, 12.7×99mm NATO and designated as the 50 Browning by the C.I.P.) is a cartridge developed for the Browning .50 caliber machine gun in the late 1910s.  Entering service officially in 1921, the round is based on a greatly scaled-up .30-06 cartridge.  Under STANAG 4383, it is a standard cartridge for NATO forces as well as many non-NATO countries.  The cartridge itself has been made in many variants: multiple generations of regular ball, tracer, armor-piercing (AP), incendiary, and saboted sub-caliber rounds.  The rounds intended for machine guns are linked using metallic links.
