John Moses Browning, of Ogden, Utah designed the M1919 machine gun. The novel design actually occurred with the M1917. The M1919 was adapted from the M1917 by replacing the water jacket (for the barrel) with an air-cooled jacket.

Was the browning M1919 machine gun used in World War 1?

No. The predecessor to the M1919 - the water cooled Browning M1917 - was used, but the M1919 was named for the year it went into service - 1919, which was the year after the First World War had ended.

I can tell you two things. The Browning M1919 was invented in 1919, hence the name, and that played a major part in the ending of WWI. The only other thing I can think of is A&W's root beer. Haha

What machine gun was better the German MG42 or the American Browning 30cal?

Both had their strong and weak points. The Browning M1919 was not designed as a 'general purpose' weapon, but rather, a medium machine gun, and thus lacked some of the features of the MG42, such as a design which allowed for it to used to some reasonable degree as a squad level support weapon, if need be. The M1919 always had to be mounted on a tripod during operation, whereas the MG42 had a bipod. The method of attaching the M1919 to the tripod was much simpler than the same process for the MG42. As for rates of fire, the MG42 had a rate of fire of around 1200 rounds per minute, which was effective at keeping heads down, but also burned through ammunition stocks quickly, and caused rapid barrel overheating, which required the barrel to be changed at regular intervals.


How many rounds does the M19191browning fire per second?

The Browning M1919 can keep firing until the barrel overheats. It depends on how long the bandolier is, since it's fed that way. If overheated, it can't shoot and the barrel needs to be replaced.
