![]() ![]() And Butler has a very different presence in this show compared to Dune -Too: The Harkonen Strikes Back. I was not aware of some of these missions they took on. The latest versions have a soft recoil cradle, that makes it easier for gunners to get effective even during a burst.Īs for Masters, it's pretty decent. These are still used today as helicopter armaments on so many different units, mostly those for hauling troops and sailors, SF and Coasties. This was needed badly during this time, as the fighter jets meant there was much less exposure time to hit the enemy at such dramatically higher speeds. It's worth noting that by the Korean war, the AN/M3, a close evolution of the AN/M2, upped the rate of fire to around 1100 rpm, apparently partly by adding an electrical motor to help move the belt quick enough to keep up with the Browning. so maybe these scenes are not as unrealistic as I first imagined them to be? ![]() and a very cold unit, after hours at high altitude, might not cycle as quick as it would at sea level. Still, the AN/M2 apparently is listed as between 600-800 rpm, which is quite a spread. This is something that their technical advisers ought to have caught, but ah well, lost information, and so few remaining who were in that era. Aircraft types had so much air cooling that the barrels were not in as much danger of overheating even when fired with high rates of fire, but also the air forces always needed high rates of fire for the one second the enemy was actually within distance and position to actually get a hit. Ground use has an extremely heavy steel barrel, to help with barrel stiffness when overheated, and slow to conserve rounds expended. 50cal, which is deliberately much slower than the aircraft variants. but the sound has them using the cadence of an Army ground-use. It's odd, because their set props are the aircraft 50's, with the barrel shrouds. that took me out of it a bit in the first and third eps. The AN/M2 Brownings chugging at a Hollywood-slow rate of fire instead of the 850rpm they should be zippering at. There's a lot of nitpicks that take me out of "immersion," so to speak.
