**EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES** Machine Gun, Cal. .30, M1917/M1917A1 The M1917 water-cooled .30 cal. machine gun was developed by John Browning. The M1971A1 was the Army’s standard battalion level machine gun until the mid-1950s. The M1917A1 .30 cal. machine gun was replaced by the M60 7.62mm machine gun. M1917 water-cooled machine gun saw service with the last U.S. troops to enter France near the end of World War I. The M1917 was tripod mounted, but was also used as an aircraft gun. The M1917 had a rate of fire of 450 spm. M1917A1. Following World War I the M1917 was modified and remanufactured at the Rock Island Arsenal, IL. The modified weapon was designated M1917A1. Additional modifications were made to new production machine guns. The M1971A1 was the Army’s standard battalion level machine gun. It saw service in World War II and Korea. The M1917 had a rate of fire of 450-600 spm. ![http://i17.tinypic.com/503mn7r.jpg](http://i17.tinypic.com/503mn7r.jpg) ![http://i11.tinypic.com/66vj79l.jpg](http://i11.tinypic.com/66vj79l.jpg) ![http://i16.tinypic.com/4uxb7tj.jpg](http://i16.tinypic.com/4uxb7tj.jpg) ![http://i14.tinypic.com/5zdzfuw.jpg](http://i14.tinypic.com/5zdzfuw.jpg) ![http://i10.tinypic.com/62gb1jl.jpg](http://i10.tinypic.com/62gb1jl.jpg) ![http://i16.tinypic.com/628ae01.jpg](http://i16.tinypic.com/628ae01.jpg) ![http://i18.tinypic.com/5227gif.jpg](http://i18.tinypic.com/5227gif.jpg) ![http://i13.tinypic.com/4u1myjn.jpg](http://i13.tinypic.com/4u1myjn.jpg) ![http://i11.tinypic.com/4ly0lrn.jpg](http://i11.tinypic.com/4ly0lrn.jpg) lol. i had to do it twice cuz i pressed the back button ---

If its from any WW era, the bullets are probably dummies now, plus they could be dangerous due to their age, if one bullet heats up slightly it could cause a chain reaction to the bullets that still have some umff left in em, hence the lockable steel bullet case. lol, im surprised you’d sell this sort of stuff online… ---

This is a box of World War II .303 calibre ammunition joined together by a cloth belt for use in a machine gun. The red tips on some of the bullets indicate that they are tracers (which glow when they are fired and can be seen while travelling down range to the target).Typically a black tip means armour piercing. Mike McAllister B.A.,M.A. The ammunition in your possession is actually for a .30 calibre Browning machine gun. The Hamilton Military Museum is not interested in its acquisition and I will for your interest and benefit point out that it is prohibited for civilian ownership and sale. I hope this will be of assistance, Tom lol…uh oh im going to get in trouble ---

Tracer rounds (Every fifth bullet red (phosphous tip)) is illegal for civilian use or even just to have. you might want to be carefull just because this is a public site. good luck ---
