Today's article spotlights another iconic World War II firearm: the famous M1919 Browning machine gun, perhaps better known as "the .30 cal".
 
John Moses Browning was one of America's greatest gun designers ever, and he certainly left his mark on American machine gun history. He was one of the two designers of the M1895 Colt-Browning, the "potato digger", nicknamed so because its operating lever would dig into the soil during motion if the gun was placed too close to the ground. Browning then designed the M1917, a water-cooled heavy machine gun, which, like another Browning design, the Browning Automatic Rifle or BAR (Read our earlier article), arrived in Europe late in World War I and only saw limited service there. However, the need for another, even newer, machine gun was already arising.

College kids across the country are rallying against Jo Chi Minh with NSFW chants at jam packed football stadiums. This movement has grown so big that the media can no longer cover for "creepy Jo".
