Anyone know what the going rate for a M2 is? Traction Control, any ideas?
The auction is here.

I think the going rate for a transferable M2 is about $25k.
Going with Nick’s figure on a transferable M2, that’s $50k worth of gun and at least $50k worth of ammo (at retail), so you’re getting an up-armored Humvee for $20 grand…not a bad deal at all!
Damn. If i had $120,000 of loose change sitting around, I’d be on that like a fat guy on a pizza at a weight watcher’s convention.
/drool.
heh, if I had $240k lying around I would get two!
Steve,
According to Global Security. org, about $14.5K
I had about 9 of them on my property book when I was a company commander.
They are a hoot to shoot!!

DO WANT!
Damn. I wonder how fast I could relocate to the U.S.?
here is some info for M2:
it came out in 1933. pretty old, i know. its rpm is only 550. used in WW2. and has 0.50mm bullets. made by john browning.
ok, the firing rate is slow. it is 550.
and the other countries that improved it made the firing rate faster, but i don’t know what they are.
if you use the M33 bullet, the muzzle velocity is 2,910 feet per second. the muzzle velocity means how fast the bullet is moving. hope i helped!!
hey, guys, they also put the M2 on World War 2 and Korean War aircraft such as B-17, F-80, F-86, and P-51.
the German counterpart is called the MG-131. It is a WW2 anti-aircraft and the russian counterparts are DShK, NSV, and the Kord. The Kord is new and it replacing the NSV in 1998.
The caliber of the M2 is 0.50 x 99mm and the caliber for the Kord is 0.50 x 108mm.
The Kord is better than the M2 in my opinion.
visit http://world.guns.ru/machine/kord_01.jpg to see a picture of a kord and go to http://www.freewebs.com/historyofww2/50%20cal.%20machine%20gun.jpg see a picture of a M2. I am sorry if the websites do not work.
“The caliber of the M2 is 0.50 x 99mm and the caliber for the Kord is 0.50 x 108mm.”
No, it most certainly isn’t. Those 0.50’s are in inches and not in millimeters! The correct calibers in metric form are 12.7×99mm and 12.7×108mm.
