<hr>
The M1919 Browning is a .30 caliber medium machine gun that was widely used during the 20th century, especially during World War II, the Korean War, and the [[Vietnam War]]. The M1919 saw service as a light infantry, coaxial, mounted, aircraft, and anti-aircraft machine gun by the U.S and many other countries.
=HISTORY=
The M1919 was an air-cooled development of the standard [[US]] machine gun of World War I, the John M. Browning-designed water-cooled M1917. The emergence of general-purpose machine guns in the 1950s pushed the M1919 into secondary roles in many cases, especially after the arrival of the [[M60]] in US Army service. The United States Navy also converted many to 7.62 mm NATO and designated them Mk 21 Mod 0; they were commonly used on riverine craft in the 1960s and 1970s in [[Vietnam]].

During WWII, the US military recognized the limitations of the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle for sustained fire, due to its fixed barrel and limited magazine capacity. In response, they developed the M1919A6 as a temporary solution, adapting existing designs to try to match the portability and efficiency of German MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns. The M1919A6, introduced in combat in late 1943, featured a removable metal buttstock, a lighter barrel with a carrying handle, and a front-loaded barrel change system that, although an improvement, was still cumbersome. Despite these modifications, the M1919A6, weighing 32 pounds, was heavier and more awkward than its German counterparts and was eventually phased out for the lighter [[M60]] machine gun in the 1960s.
