You are correct. It is a 1917a Browning water cooled machine gun. It actually saw action in WW II , Korean, and the Vietnam wars. I still think Vietnam was a war in my opinion.
Stupid question, but is it actually legal to drive a jeep with an unloaded machine gun on it? I only ask because I’m in the process of restoring one, that questions been on my mind recently
well, in order to make it street legal, the machine gun must be inoperable. For example, in my particular browning the firing pin is missing, and a fake one was welded in its place. but from what i know, as long as the machine gun has the capability to fire, I do not think you are allowed to drive with it on top
r u drunk yea shure the hummer would get damaged and still would be able to work but that tiny little jeep would get destroyed from the raw power of the H1
i want one!!!
hey that
things cool how fast u think it goes?
I bet that thing never gets stuck in traffic.
they go about 50 mph, downhill… with the wind at your back …
I like your neighborhood watch!
hey reeds its nick… ryan ownz
Their “stock” max speed was around 40mph.
but thats a first world war machine gun
Actually, The Vickers Heavy Machine Gun had a water cooled barrel too.
and saw service right upto the seventies, the water cooled 30cal went out of service and in came the air cooled browning
hah 70s? That’s crazy
it worked, the bren stayed in service until the ninties, the thompson is still in use by the SAS

or rather, mounted
how much did you pay for the jeep or did you inherite it?
i wanna ram it with a H1…………. not because i dont like it, just because it smaller
16,500
he said Mounted…☻
The H1 would break, the jeep would not.

If it weren’t for this little baby H1 would be nothing. This is it’s gran-daddy and i would take it over an H1 any day :]
@reedbmr thats totely true but here in holland you also need a gun cover to drive it.
