the m2 machine gun is incredibly inaccurate, which is incredibly inaccurate in and of itself.
there is no universe except the robbz wehraboo universe where a mg42, mounted or carried, outshoots an m2 on a vehicle mount or tripod, yet elite panzergrenadiers seem to do it with ease. m2 should have the accuracy of an anti tank rifle at the least and the vehicle mounted .50 cals should be dead accurate. the m2 should essentially be the US's at rifle. remember, the longest shot in vietnam was made with an m2. 8mm mauser is only effective up to 800m area target whereas the .50 bmg is accurate to 1km point target. if you disagree you are wrong and a wehraboo.
