(FORT BENNING, GA) - Smoke billows from the barrel of the M2 Machine Gun after being fired repeatedly. The tremendous heat generated by the gun necessitates the need to change the barrel out in continuous firing situations. The M2A1 with Quick Change Barrel is an enhancement to the M2 .50 Caliber Machine Gun.
