How Do You Hit Targets With An M2 Machine Gun?
The M2 .50 caliber machine gun has been a staple of the United State’s Military for well over half-a-century. This stalwart and lethal weapon is still used today because of its dependability, ease of use and deadliness. Here are some steps to help you to learn to hit targets with a M2 machine gun. Assume a comfortable firing position. It is important that you have enough leverage to maintain control of the weapon’s massive recoil while firing. Try to pull back on the handles with your arms straight while you are holding on to hand grips to maintain control while firing. Obtain a good sight-picture of your target through the weapon’s sights. Place the top of the front sight’s blade at the bottom center of the target. Engage the target by depressing and holding the butterfly trigger until three to six rounds are fired. Watch where your rounds and tracer hit in your first burst adjust up or down as necessary.
