@Render You misspelled "murica!!!"
@Jeast 1940's version. They had better annunciation back then.
@Jeast To this day the USN insists that their Browning M2's are made of bronze.
We know the real truth though.
Salt water sucks.
@Render The real question is why don't they just use salt water and heat resistant paint?
@Jeast Paint is very bad for Ma Deuce. She's air cooled and generates a ton of heat as it is. Last thing you want to do is trap that heat under a coat of paint.
There's a reason why sustained fire versions of the M2 were water cooled. https://counter.social/media/v2t8quRaGivDVC092eQ
@Render Damn Straight!
