Default Browning M2 in action. USCGC Terrapin.

Proud dad moment. My son Marcus getting qualified on his cutter's Browning M2 HB Machine Gun (50 caliber). Great action photo. Incidentally his cutter is the USCGC Terrapin (WPB-87366), Bellingham, Washington. He's doing very well in the Coast Guard. In addition to firing it he's had the "pleasure" of breaking it down (by himself), putting it back together and adjusting the headspace and timing. Same task that I had to do when I was a tanker in the U.S. Army many years ago. He seems to have found a home in the Coast Guard.
