Description
The Browning (7.7 mm) is a Browning M1919 machine gun adapted to fire the British .303 round (7.7 mm) and is seen predominantly on British aircraft.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
Note that the SB2U-2, the single American plane armed with the Browning .303, has a unique gun with lower accuracy than the ones found on British planes.
General info
Tell us about the tactical and technical characteristics of the cannon or machine gun.
Available ammunition
- Default: T · AP · AP-I · Ball · I
- Universal: T · AP · AP-I · AP-I · I
- Tracers: I-T · AP-I · I-T · AP-I
- Stealth: AP-I · AP-I · I
Comparison with analogues
The 7.7 mm Browning is similar in performance to the American 7.62 mm Browning.
Usage in battles
Describe the cannon/machine gun in the game - its distinctive features, tactics of usage against notable opponents. Please don't write a "guide" - do not impose a single point of view, but give the reader food for thought.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- High rate of fire
- Tracer belts are composed entirely of incendiary bullets which are effective at setting fires
- Has higher velocity, accuracy and is less prone to jamming than other LMGs such as the MG 15 and ShKAS
- On planes with Hispano cannons and Browning machine guns, the .303 tracers can be used to aim the 20 mm shells
Cons:
- Pitiful damage against aircraft structures such as spars and skin (same as other LMGs)
- High damage drop-off (same as other LMGs)
- Poor stock belts with relatively high ball round content
History
Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History) and add a link to it here using the main template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <ref></ref>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <references />.
Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
See also
Links to the articles on the War Thunder Wiki that you think will be useful for the reader, for example:
- reference to the article about the variant of the cannon/machine gun;
- references to approximate analogues by other nations and research trees.
External links
Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
- topic on the official game forum;
- other literature.
