Abstract
This project developed the Lightweight .50 Caliber Machine Gun which met the U.S. Army/SOCOM requirements for a Lightweight Enhanced .50 Caliber Machine Gun. The lightweight .50 Caliber machine gun system enables the Soldier to effectively suppress and incapacitate exposed personnel targets out to 2,000 meters, as well as providing a capability to defeat lightly armored vehicles out to 1,500 meters. The weapon system increases the warfighter's lethality while significantly reducing tactical load and supportability costs. The new .50 Caliber weapon reduces weight and recoil, and eliminates manual adjustment of headspace and timing.
