    The M2 is almost as old. Both are still in service around the world. Both are John Browning designs.

      It will never stop being funny to me that both the M2 and the 1911 are (according to scifi-fantasy franchise Warhammer 40.000) still in use in the 41st Millennium.

      I’m not sure why this suprises people.

      M2 Browning was bolted to basically everything american in ww2 and that was 80-90 years ago. It’s an old weapon
