"Ever wondered what the "MG" in BMG means, or why they call them "MG" primers? This is it. This is the Browning Machine Gun. .50 caliber, 128 pounds, 600 rounds per minute, which would cost you  21,000 to fire... if you stick to FMJ. The M2HB-QCB (heavy barrel, quick-change barrel), or Ma Deuce as it's affectionately known, is more than another weapon; it is the most powerful town defense implement ever created. It is designed to turn any invader - creatures, raiders, dragons, or rival faction members - into chunky salsa. Don't get on Ma's bad side." |

The Static M2HB is a Browning M2HB-QCB (colloquially known as Ma Deuce) machine gun mounted on a tripod and found exclusively on .50 cal MG emplacements. Although it is not based on an existing firearm and acts like a completely new weapon, the Static M2HB does not count as a separate weapon. It is an element of the .50 cal MG emplacement, a type of cover.
Tripod mount
The tripod mount provides all of the following effects:
- Static weapon: It cannot be equipped or added to the inventory.
- FT -1
- Recoil -2
- IS tier +2
Notes
Despite lacking a stock in the traditional sense, the M2HB is intended for use in a sitting or cross-legged position, with both hands on the spade grips and a sufficiently lowered position to use the sights. This posture, alongside the weapon's natural heft, is considered stable enough to have the same effects as a fixed stock. Therefore, it does not suffer from the accuracy malus typically associated with stockless firearms.
