Product Description
The .50 Cal Browning Machine Gun (BMG) cartridge case is an iconic component of military history, originally developed in the early 20th century. Designed for the M2 Browning machine gun, this cartridge is renowned for its power, versatility, and effectiveness across various combat scenarios. Constructed from brass, the robust case is built to withstand the high pressures generated during firing. Measuring approximately 5.45 inches in length and 0.81 inches in diameter at the base, it houses the primer, propellant, and bullet.
The .50 BMG cartridge was first used in World War I and became a cornerstone of heavy machine gun and sniper systems in subsequent conflicts, including World War II, the Korean War, and beyond. Its immense stopping power makes it suitable for engaging armored vehicles, aircraft, and fortified positions, as well as long-range precision shooting.
Collectors and enthusiasts prize original .50 BMG cases for their historical and technical significance. Decommissioned cases are often repurposed into display items, keychains, or other memorabilia. The .50 BMG’s enduring legacy lies in its engineering excellence, representing a blend of durability and lethality that has set a standard for large-caliber ammunition over the last century.
