A rimless, brass, bottlenecked case, Berdan or Boxer primed. The standard bullet is ball, using a steel core in lead support, steel jacket and gilding metal envelope. In view of the tactical use of this weapon, AP-I and similar bullets with better terminal effects are used more commonly today. This cartridge was developed in the 1920s. Its design was greatly influenced by the German 13 mm Tank und Flieger (TuF) machine gun round. The 0.50 Browning gun was originally devised as an anti-aircraft weapon, but during
1940 to 1945 it achieved prominence as an aircraft, tank and infantry support gun. Since then it has been widely distributed and adopted by almost every country outside the former Soviet Bloc. Ammunition has been manufactured in many countries but largely to US specifications, although since the 1970s several manufacturers have developed more potent rounds of their own design. The basic design was intended to extract as much performance as possible and there is not a great deal of room for improvement, except in the development of complex bullets to improve terminal effects. With the advent of widespread use of anti-matérial rifles worldwide, several manufacturers have developed match grade ammunition for use in these weapons. This ammunition is manufactured to a higher level of precision and achieves far greater accuracy than most ammunition manufactured for use in machine guns. Applications include browning M2 and M2 HB machine guns; M85 machine gun; also used in Barrett, Harris and similar anti-materiel rifles; CIS 50MG.
