3D model description

I have provided two options, one is to install ammunition, and the other is to separate the ammunition. You can choose what you are interested in, and the ammunition comes with

The M1919A6 is a World War 2 era machine gun of US origin. The A6 model is much easier to use during an assault, moving from position to position. The trade-off it that it lacks the sustained fire capability the M1919A4 offers.

The M1919A6 is an infantry model of the M1919A4 with a bipod and shoulder stock. Therefore there is no need to carry a tripod. This makes the A6 more effective during an assault. It is easier to reposition and faster to bring onto target. In order to keep it man portable it has a lighter barrel. This compensates for the added weight of the wooden stock. Since the wooden stock and pistol grip are somewhat of an afterthought, the M1919A6 is less ergonomic than other medium machine guns of the same era.

During the war it became clear to the US military that the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, while portable, was not sufficient as a sustained fire weapon due to its fixed barrel and 20-round magazine. The M1919A4 was faster and cheaper to produce but did not have the portability of a rifle. Realizing that producing an entirely new replacement machine gun would take time, the military decided that a stop-gap solution would be best and adapted an existing design. The M1919A6 was an attempt at such a solution, to parallel the designs of the German MG 34 and MG 42 machine guns, each of which were portable for a squad weapon and were very effective at sustained fire.[citation needed]

The M1919A6 first saw combat service in the fall of 1943.[citation needed] It had a metal buttstock assembly that clamped to the backplate of the gun, and a front barrel bearing that incorporated both a muzzle booster and a bipod similar to that used on the BAR. A lighter barrel than that of the M1919A4 was fitted, and a carrying handle was attached to the barrel jacket to make it easier to carry. Previous M1919 designs could change the barrel, but it required essentially field stripping the gun to pull the barrel out from the rear – the pistol grip back plate, bolt group and the trigger group all had to be removed before the barrel could be replaced, and this put the gun out of action for minutes, and risked losing and damaging parts in the field.[citation needed] The M1919A6 muzzle device allowed the gun crew to replace the barrel from the front; an improvement, but still an awkward procedure compared to other machine guns of the day. The M1919A6 was a heavy (32 pounds, 15 kg) and awkward weapon in comparison with the MG34 (26 pounds, 12 kg) and MG42 (25 pounds, 11 kg) and was eventually replaced in US service by the M60 machine gun (23.15 pounds, 10.50 kg) in the 1960s.[citation needed]
I have set them to a 1:35/1:72 ratio for easy printing, and the size comes from the data provided by the encyclopedia. You can adjust its size to any place by yourself.

Note: If using the model for 3D printing, model repairs may be needed.
