Browning M2 .50 Caliber Machine Guns

Below are two videos of US Navy sailors firing .50 caliber machine guns in December 2016. The range to the targets is 300 yards, and the targets are 6' wide x 5' tall.

The first video, Firing the Gun shows a two-man crew: one giving instructions and the other manning the gun. The two doing the firing are the instructors, as denoted by their red shirts.

The second video, Downrange shows the field of impact, and the effectiveness of the guns. The targets are the large, black square's at the far end of the range.

The video gets really interesting at just past 30 seconds when the camera zooms in.

NOTE: The guns have sights, but the instructors didn't think it necessary for the gunners to use them.
