Browning water cooled 50 cal machine gun

[sksvlad]

I was at a huge gun show in Philadelphia and bumped into jonnyc "Mr.Tokarev" who told me it was a water cooled 50 cal Browning AA naval mount. May someone tell me more about it.

They have one of these watercooled .50calls at the Royal armories in Leeds that was formaly stored at Fort Nelson Portsmouth for some time. This .50 cal had the Torra Torra mount with hockey stick back rest. A real beast of equipment to lug about. The guys at the armoury said every thing weighed a ton when they set it up for my visit.

Watercooled .50 BMGs also came in twin naval mountings. There's one I've seen in a museum (in Oslo IIRC).
