Talk:Browning M2

You know, I'm certain I've seen a movie where they used M2s as futuristic weapons, fitted with those military BFAs that make them look like three-barrel gatling guns. But I can't for the life of me remember what it was. Vangelis 00:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Field-Expedient Safety?

I was wondering if someone could explain something to me; I've seen a few instances in videos and photos where a Browning M2HB will have an unfired round positioned so as to block the butterfly trigger at the rear of the weapon, and I was wondering if this was some kind of field-expedient safety or if there was some other reason behind this? Does the M2 even have a safety selector? Orca1 9904 03:28, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

- No, the M2 has no actual 'safety' - I believe what you're talking about is the bolt latch release 'safety' it does have. In the center of the thumb trigger is where said latch release is, and when engaged, it locks the bolt to the rear. You have to press it downwards to disengage it before you can press the trigger. Hope that explains it. StanTheMan 13:42, 15 August 2010 (UTC)
