Default Re: 30 cal machine gun

Oooopss thanks Jack. I forgot to add that discription LOL

The modified AN/M2 consisted of a butt stock from a US M1 Garand fastened to the receiver of the Browning machine gun, a rear sight typically from a BAR 1918 and an improvised trigger. These conversions were based on field conversions by soldiers in the Pacific Theatre during the Second World War. A weapon of this type was used by Marine Corporal Tony Stein in the invasion of Iwo Jima, who would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor for his actions during the battle. It had a rate of fire in excess of 1,200 rpm and was nicknamed the "Stinger."[
