FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2
Heavy Machine Gun
FN Herstal upgrades its iconic .50 cal FN® M2HB-QCB machine gun
The Mk2 comes with two major improvements whilst retaining the FN® QCB configuration for maximum reliability, safety and effectiveness. There is no loss of interchangeability for parts or mountings with earlier FN® M2HB-QCB versions.
Firstly, the barrel of the FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2 is factory fitted with an effective flash hider, or ready for the customer to add one as and when required. The flash hider greatly reduces flash signature, so both survivability and combat effectiveness are improved significantly.
Secondly, the FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2 is factory fitted with, or ready for easy integration of, an FN SmartCore®. The state-of-the-art FN SmartCore® shot counter allows more efficient and cost-effective preventive maintenance and management.
The FN® M2HB-QCB Mk2 retains all the advantages of the FN® QCB configuration available on previous FN ® M2HB-QCB machine guns.
