I'm partial to his 71 year old cal .50 M2HB.
I was never in the service, & never got to "play" with one of those.
Oh, btw: if we're gonna refer to the age of the design- I *bought* my Browning .22 Automatic in ~1969, one of the last of the Belgian-made ones. The design itself dates to the early years of the 20th century, when ol' JB himself referred to it as a "bicycle rifle"
, since it could be easily broken down for transport on a bicycle. Hmm... should look this up, the 100th anniversary of the design might be coming up fairly soon.
