(NOTE: This article reflects the latest commercially-available version of the game, Steel Beasts Professional Personal Edition)














M2 Browning

The Browning M2 heavy machine gun appears mounted on M1A1 Abrams tanks, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, and Humvees. On the Abrams, the M2 is on a powered mount fired from the Commander's station inside the turret known as the Commander's Weapon Station, enabling the Tank Commander to aim and fire the .50 cal without having to expose himself to hostile fire.

M240 Machine Gun

The M240 machine gun appears mounted on M1A1 Abrams as a secondary machine gun to the heavier M2 Browning with one mounted at the Loader's hatch atop the turret and another in a 'coaxial' mount parallel to the main 120mm gun, though only the latter of the two is useable as the player can only man the Gunner, Tank Commander, and Driver's stations in the Abrams. The M240 also appears as a coaxial weapon on M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
