The M2 is a .50 cal heavy machine gun that has been featured in all of the ARMA games to date, beginning with ArmA: Cold War Assault and all the way to ARMA Reforger.

ArmA: Cold War Assault

«

Browning M2 machine gun is belt-fed, air-cooled machine weapon capable of semi-automatic and automatic fire. After WW2, .50-caliber Browning guns found a wide acceptance across the world, and today are still widely used as ground and vehicle guns inmost of NATO countries and many others. Weapon Description

Games

The M2 is used by both U.S. and Soviet military forces in ArmA: Cold War Assault.

Overview

The M2 Browning is an air-cooled, belt fed heavy machine gun that fires from a closed bolt, and is chambered to fire the .50 BMG round.

It can attain a fire rate of up to 600 rounds per minute, and has a muzzle velocity of 1,000 m/s. The M2 uses a simple ironsight for aiming. Both static and vehicle-mounted versions always feed from a single 500-round belt.

Officially adopted in 1923 by the U.S. military, the M2 has since continued to serve as the standard HMG of many armed forces throughout the world. It is commonly employed on the M1A1 MBT or M113 APC where it serves as a coaxial/primary weapon.

The M2 is a surprisingly accurate and powerful heavy weapon. Because it fires the powerful .50 cal round, it can penetrate through the armour of most light and even some medium armoured vehicles.

Although it isn't man-portable, it works well in any fortified position as a static weapon when paired alongside anti-tank weapons such as the M72 LAW/Carl Gustav and medium machine guns like the M60. All four systems combined will make any position almost unassailable by ground forces bar heavy air power.

Trivia

• Upon destruction, M2s will violenty explode with greatly exaggerated explosion effects. This is because M2 turrets are actually considered to be immobile "tanks" (and share many of the same properties as a result).
• In prior versions of Cold War Assault (when it was previously released under its original name as Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis) the M2 were treated as vehicles and could be seen on vehicle "radars". This was eventually fixed after the release of Patch 1.20.
• Cold War Assault's M2 is erroneously shown being used by the Soviet military.
  • While M2s delivered as part of the U.S. government's Lend-Lease policy during the Second World War did result in it seeing some (limited) service as an anti-aircraft gun within the Soviet Armed Forces, they were completely replaced in that role by the (then-newer) "DShK" HMG by the conflict's end and throughout the Cold War.
  • The DShK itself is notably absent in Cold War Assault, nor is the "NSV" for that matter. This is in spite of the fact that both HMGs would have been more appropriate as the in-game Soviet HMG instead of the M2.

Calibre	.50 BMG
Magazine capacity	100
Dispersion	0.001 rad
Variants	None
Games

The M2 Machine Gun is used exclusively by U.S. Army forces in ArmA: Armed Assault.

Overview

The M2 returns as both a static and vehicle-mounted weapon in Armed Assault. Unlike its predecessor, the M2 is no longer shared with REDFOR factions and is exclusive to U.S. Army forces only.

It can now be used to engage targets at distances of up to 1,200 metres, though it has a lower fire rate of only ~ 545 RPM and has a reduced muzzle velocity of 930 m/s. Belt capacity-wise, it has also been reduced to feeding from 100-round belt boxes for both static and vehicle-mounted M2s. However, it is now available in two variants and can be mounted onto either a raised tripod or low minitripod.

The M2 is once again employed as a static turret and vehicle-mounted weapon. It serves as the primary weapon of HMMWVs and M113 APCs, as well as with the M1A1 MBT and Stryker ICV as remotely-operated guns.

Compared to the SLA's DShKM, both it and the M2 have similar dispersion against targets at ranges of 1,000 metres and beyond. Though it fires slightly slower than the DShKM (545 versus 600 RPM), the M2 compensates by being able to feed from 100-round belts as opposed to the DShKM's 50-round only "magazines". In all other aspects, both HMGs are functionally and statistically identical.

• Prior to Patch 1.04, the M2's ironsights were misaligned and did not zero correctly for targets located beyond 800 metres.

M2HB .50
Faction	USMC U.S. Army
Type	Heavy Machine Gun
Calibre	.50 BMG
Magazine capacity	Variable (dependent on platform)
Dispersion	0.001 rad
Variants	None
Games

The M2HB is used by both the U.S. Marines and U.S. Army forces in ArmA 2.

Overview

The M2HB is the modernised version of its Cold War Assault/Armed Assault predecessors.

It still has a fire rate of only ~ 545 RPM and retains an identical muzzle velocity. However, it does have a slightly higher effective firing range of between 1,200 and up to 2,000 metres, and can also be mounted onto either lowered or raised tripods.

Ammunition capacity now varies depending on the platform it is being utilised on. Standalone static M2HBs for example, always feed from 100-round belt boxes and have a further three more boxes to spare (for a combined total of 400 rounds). On the other hand, vehicle-mounted M2HBs such as those on the M1A2 TUSK or armed Military Offroads, can carry up to four boxes instead. No matter its mounting, the M2HB still lacks optical accessories and relies on a simple ironsight for aiming.

Like its older model, the ArmA 2 M2HB continues to serve as the primary HMG of the U.S. military with both branches utilising it in some form - either as a defensive/static or vehicle-mounted weapon. Some other factions such as pro-government Takistani militia groups and Czech special operations also make use of the M2HB on their armed vehicles.

Compared to all other static HMGs in ArmA 2 like the Russian KORD, the M2HB suffers from having fairly high dispersion at distances of beyond 1,000 metres, but is now more accurate than the (figuratively-speaking) newer Soviet-era DShKM. Once again however, this is only due to its ability to feed from 100-round (or larger) belt boxes; in all other aspects it isn't that much better than the DShKM.

The M2HB's ironsights can be manually zeroed start from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 2,000 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000). By default, it is set to a zeroing of 300 metres.

Ironsights on the M2HB Minitripod can be manually zeroed start from a minimum of 100 metres up to a maximum of 2,000 metres (100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500, 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000). By default, it is set to a zeroing of 300 metres.

Trivia

• Although Czech SOF and Takistani militiamen are shown using the M2 as vehicle-mounted weapons, they do not actually have access to a static tripod variant.
• USMC M2HBs cannot be disassembled into a man-portable backpack form, unlike those used by the U.S. Army in the Operation Arrowhead expansion pack.
  • This is because the ability to dismantle/reassemble static weapons was only added with the release of the expansion pack, and was not retroactively applied to the original ArmA 2 static weapons (as none of the pre-expansion pack units are able to carry backpacks in the first place).
• Prior to Patch 1.05, an issue with memory points on the M2's model (both variants) would prevent players from being able to man the HMG properly, although AI-controlled units were not affected by this.

Games

The M2 HMG is used by several BLUFOR, REDFOR and INDFOR factions in ArmA 3.

Overview

The M2 returns once more in ArmA 3. Unlike in previous games however, the M2 has been modified with a bullet-resistant gunshield and on certain models, also features a mounted reflex sight for easier aiming.

It returns to having a normalised fire rate of 600 RPM as in Cold War Assault and retains an effective firing range of between 1,200 up to maximum of 1,500 metres. Its muzzle velocity has been further reduced to 910 m/s, however, and is now restricted to feeding from 100-round belt boxes only (unlike in ArmA 2). Depending on the faction, M2s feature a reflex sight that can assist with aiming at distant targets.

Compared to the newer Mk30 HMG employed by the main factions, the M2 is handicapped by its lack of an integrated Fire Control System. As well as having higher dispersion against targets beyond ~ 800 metres, the M2 is always limited to 100-round belt boxes as opposed to the Mk30's 200 or 500-round "magazines".

Its saving graces are the gunshield, which provides the gunner with better protection at the cost of some visibility, as well as its higher base rate of fire. Nonetheless, even these advantages are offset by its lack of magnified optics and decreased accuracy at long ranges.

It is available in four tracer colour varieties: white, red, green and yellow, which are all faction-specific. The fourth round fired will always consist of a coloured tracer. However, there are no dedicated belts that are fully loaded with tracers.

---

Trivia

• Both the static and vehicle-mounted M2 turrets are original models made specifically for ArmA 3.
  • On ArmA 3's initial release however, the vehicle-mounted M2s were simply updated ports of the ArmA 2 M2HB (they use the exact same textures as their previous iteration).
• The reflex sight featured on LDF/AAF M2s is based on the real-world "DCL-120" designed by DI Optical.
• Although listed as Apex content, the M2 is included as part of the free platform update for the Old Man mini-campaign/scenario and can be used without any restrictions for both DLC and non-DLC owners.
• Though it isn't directly referred to as such, the RCWS fitted on the Rhino MGS UP is modelled after the M2 instead of newer Mk30s for unknown reasons (unlike on other NATO vehicles).
• Prior to the Old Man update, ArmA 3 was the first game in the series to not feature the M2 as a static turret.
• There are hidden variants of the M2 for both Mediterranean NATO and CSAT forces within the game files for raised/lowered tripods.
  • Though they cannot be placed in the editor or through the Zeus Curator module, they can still be spawned via scripting commands.
  • Oddly enough, this does not extend to Pacific NATO/CSAT forces as they still lack hidden M2s.

The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.

• At one point in development, SLAP rounds were presumably meant to be included as an alternative type of ammunition for .50 calibre HMGs.
  • Ultimately this ammunition didn't make it to the release version of ArmA 3. While leftover config entries for the ammunition are still present in the game's files (Classname: B_127x99_SLAP), there are no magazine configs that include it so it cannot be added onto any weapons without a custom addon.

M2HB - Tripod
Faction	United States
Type	Heavy Machine Gun
Calibre	.50 BMG
Magazine capacity	100
Dispersion	0.400 m at 400 m
Variants	None
Games

The M2HB is used exclusively by U.S. military forces in ARMA Reforger.

Overview

Reforger's M2HB is available in both vehicle-mounted and static turret configurations. By default, a static M2HB feeds from a single 100-round linked belt stored in an ammocan. Three spare ammocans are available in reserve, providing a combined pool of 400 rounds total.

The static turret version is attached to an M3 tripod, which allows the operator to swivel the turret up to a maximum of 50 degrees in either direction horizontally. Vertical limits are more restrictive, allowing for a maximum elevation of 25 degrees and a depression of approximately 20 degrees.

The M2HB has an unchanged fire rate of 600 RPM, though it should be noted that as opposed to its predecessors in ArmA 2 and ArmA 3, Reforger's M2HB cannot be disassembled into a man-portable backpack form. Furthermore, its muzzle velocity has again been reduced to 890 m/s and it is no longer possible to adjust its zeroing.

The M2HB is available as part of the U.S. Machine-Gun Nest. It has a Supply cost of 350 units.

Static M2HBs can load two types of magazines:

12.7×99 mm 100rnd M2 Belt

Standard 100-round linked belt loaded with a mix of M33 ball and M10 tracer ammunition (with a 74/26 split). Every fifth round fired will be a visible tracer round. Only the last six rounds of the belt will comprise exclusively of tracers.

The ammocan weighs 15.74 kg when it is fully loaded with all one-hundred rounds (each round in the belt has a weight of 0.132 kg) while an empty ammocan only weighs 2.54 kg. It takes up a 1x1 inventory slot and has a volume of 5,000 cm3.

It has a Supply cost of 1 unit if it is taken from an Arsenal Box or a Resupply Pack.

12.7×99 mm 100rnd M2 Tracer Belt

Dedicated tracer belt loaded exclusively with M10 tracers.

It weighs and occupies the same amount of space as the stock M33 belts. Its Supply cost also remains the same (1 unit).

---

Trivia

• Prior to the first Ground Support update, the M2's ammunition cans only weighed 2.54 kg. The patch subsequently refactored Reforger's weighting system and now properly accounts for each individual round on the belt (equating to a ~ 520% increase in weight to the ammocans).
• Before Update 0.9.9.62, the M2's ironsights had a leaf that was unfolded. However, because the M2 can't be zeroed, the leaf was essentially useless and actually obstructed the gunner's view. The patch subsequently folded the sights down, making the M2 much easier to aim with.

The information below details unused, pre-release or removed content.

• Unused ammocans that contain belts loaded with M20 API/API-T rounds exist within the Workbench. However, they cannot be obtained from U.S. military Arsenal Box crates without the use of scripting commands or a custom addon.
