The article from The Armory Life, written by Will Dabbs, MD, explores the historical significance and enduring legacy of the M2 .50-caliber machine gun, commonly known as "Ma Deuce." Originating in World War I, the gun was developed at the behest of American General John J. Pershing to counter German observation balloons and aircraft. Designed by John Moses Browning, with ammunition developed by Winchester, the M2 has been in service since 1921 and remains a staple in military arsenals worldwide. The weapon is praised for its robustness, versatility, and reliability, capable of being mounted on various platforms, including vehicles, ships, and aircraft. Though more than a century old, advancements like the M2A1 model have upgraded its features, ensuring the Browning-designed machine gun continues to be an integral part of military operations today.

MkV Detachment Bravo, Special Operations Craft (SOC) hull #962 (photos taken from 961)
Underway live fire training during work-up, off of San Clemente Island, CA, circa 1996
First MkV detachment to the Middle East; this boat was basically a heavily-armed 82 foot, 57 ton, stealth jet ski. While deployed, our underway loadout was two M2HB .50 cal machine guns in twin mount configuration and a Mk19 40mm machine gun, on each side of the boat.

Ukrainian soldier with an improvised 14.5mm anti-material rifle. I think he's using a M2HB as a swivel mount.

All Detroit Become Human firearms list
⚠️I know shit about guns, only the basics. If u know something let me know cuz you'll see i got problems identifying real life inspirations.
Curiously most of firearm stuff in the game files (like sticker textures) are in german(?) mixed with some english terms.
HOMELAND SECURITY SNIPER RIFLE (CA8-2)
Pretty much a military large cal sniper rifle from RRC, according to the textures;
In the game files is stated as "SNIPERRIFLE" and "CONNORSNIPERRIFLE". Basically no variation;
It's stated is a 12.7mm anti-material large caliber, possibly 12.7x99mm (.50 BMG);
According to the game files it's inspired in the H&K CA8-2 or SL8, probably a "futuristic" version mixed with other tactical sniper rifles;
SCHMOT BENDER rifle scope according to the textures, probably a reference to Schmidt & Bender. There's a "Onrara 50'S /30.24™" next to it, maybe it's a name? Who knows;
Likely adaptable and interchangeable parts: barrel, scope, stock, bipod;
HOMELAND SECURITY ASSAULT RIFLE (CZ1010)
In the game files is a stated as "M4SWATRIFLE";
The stock feels inspired in SCAR H but the overall rifle seems like an futuristic AR-15 style rifle mix or CZ BREN;
.45 cal || I couldn't find this specific cal for a "M4" which is usually 5.56 NATO but i did find .458 SOCOM and .450 Bushmaster;
The textures point out for 2 possible manifactures: "Voge Force Log Ltd" or "GOCISSELE AUTOSTARS";
All SWAT, Riot and CL guards use this shit - def generic;
Futuristic holographic sight, likely with target locking;
SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL (AZPR40 SZ)

According to the textures is a generic semi-auto from KAISAN-Phoenix;
Found 3 variations in the game files "COPGUN", "COPGUNB" and "TODDGUN";
.457 cal (it's an airgun cal irl), likely to be .40S&W according to the textures but should be .45 ACP;
Looks heavely inspired in the Smith & Wesson M&P45 full size with a different grip although it's .40 written;
PISTOL (MS853 BLACK HAWK)
In the game files is stated as "DANIELGUN" (ta~daaa);
Stated as .355 cal, basically a 9mm (by Jonbal Ammunition in this case);
It's the only time we see this pistol being used in the game;
No idea which irl pistol they exactly used as inspiration cuz feels like a mix of guns like Sokolovsky;
HANK'S REVOLVER (357 MAGNUM)
I couldn't identify the manufacturer, i only know about this eagle stamp;
In the game files is named as "HANKGUN" (taa~daaaaa);
.357 Magnum cal;
Could be inspired in a Ruger GP100 or maybe S&W 686? Idk, looks like a 6" barrel with polymer pistol grip;
The round headstamp normal map in the game files states "P635AC .40 RWS" or the inverse (why everything is .40 in this shit);
PUMP ACTION SHOTGUN (????)
In the game files is named as "FUNFAIRSHOTGUN" and "SHOTGUN";
Probably a generic 12 gauge;
There's a deleted variation (Hunter one) from the deleted section of Pirate's Cove (last img). Got the exact same stock and pistol grip from the CZ1010;
I honestly can't pinpoint what real life gun they used as inspiration, maybe an oversized Remington 870 Marine Mag with some modifications (shorter barrel for example)? Who knows;
ROCKET LAUNCHER (RPG-7)
In the game files name is "ROCKETLAUNCHER";
Pretty straightforward RPG-7. Classic. 😁🥃
MACHINE GUN (M2)
In the game files is named "MACHINEGUN" (ta~daaaa), if it's the right one ofc;
.50 BMG cal;
Reminds me of a Browning M2HB;
#repost cuz...tumblr#dbh#detroit become human#dbh observation list#i'll likely edit other 30 times if i found something new#plz tumblr don't fuck with this post
