Those 0.50's are in <b>inches</b> and not in millimeters! The correct calibers in metric form are 12.7x99mm and 12.7x108mm. “The caliber of the M2 is 0.50 x 99mm and the caliber for the Kord is 0.50 x 108mm.”

Sat, 23 May 2009 03:29:17 +0000 http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/?p=4664#comment-9850 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. 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.
