off topic, but it's interesting to note that that exact same tripod design is still in service. Must've been a hell of an engineering job.

Yep a 1919. A buddy has 2 of them and only one is semi auto. They go with his Browning M2 50 cal too.  Can we say BIG BOY toys???  :D

In canadian service we used those as the C5 GPMG in 7.92mm till 1990 or so. I spent way too much time humping, cleaning and cleaning those things. Great fun to fire though.

About 20 yrs ago, a company made some 2/3 scale (.22 cal) replicas of the M1919 aircooled and M1917 watercooled.

I came with two plastic 'belts' that could hold 1 or 2 hundred rounds.

They had semi and full auto versions and because of the shorter barrel, it was classed as a pistol.

Looked like great fun  but was 1,200 in 1980 dollars.
