Browning M2 in British first line use

Unless you are certain this is an older gun, older pic...they aren't the same gun at all. If you didn't train on the new QCB version, you might have some problems. Not much the same, even the ammo is different.

Good catch on the M2 HMG, I should have clarified a regular rifle caliber MG used by the Infantry. You could also make a case the M1919 is still in use someplace in south America, but mostly on vehicles.

But as far as MMG or Univeral MMG it seesm the PKM, FN MAG and MG42/MG1/MG3 are pretty much it.

So my list possibly had a myth, depending on how deep you dive.

Couldn't say how different this one is, but it certainly looks like the receiver, shroud, barrel and basic configuration are the same or nearly the same.
