My "MA" just got fired.

About the only thing left that has been fighting for the US longer than the B-52 is on the short road to retirement.

The MA-Deuce. M2 .50 Cal machinegun. My mostest favoritist firearm in the whooooole world.

She's being retired in favor of the XM312. Which is, I admit, pretty cool-looking. But she'd better be as reliable as my MA! I still have my headspace and timing gauges I carried for 24 years.

More info is available here.

Purty though, ain't she? A little lighter, too.
