In continuous service since before the First World War, the venerable M2 .50-caliber machine gun has remained virtually unchanged thanks to a design that American and allied forces have found perfectly fit for purpose in every clime and place, and the Armed Forces of Ukraine are no exception. Typically operated by a gunner and assistant gunner, the M2 is (optimistically considered) man-portable, although is more typically found set in defensive positions or mounted in or on vehicles.
Many have found to their brief displeasure that the notion of the M2 being too powerful to use on human targets is a myth. Rumors that autonomous platforms exist that mount the generations-old weapon system, though, are perhaps less likely to be unfounded.
