Operator training for the M2HB machine gun involves comprehensive instruction on the weapon's operation, maintenance, and safety protocols. Trainees learn to identify components, load and unload ammunition, and engage targets effectively while adhering to safety guidelines. Hands-on practice is crucial, enabling operators to develop proficiency in firing and troubleshooting the weapon under various conditions. Emphasis is placed on teamwork and communication to ensure effective use in tactical situations.
The lightest machine gun of the 12.7x99mm or .50 BMG calibre is the XM312 Machine Gun. It is a still a tripod mounted weapon, weighing a good 19 kilos while mounted on a tripod. This is an extremely low weight in comparison to the 58 kilogram predecessor of the XM312, the M2HB/M3 tripod.

The M2HB (Browning .50 caliber machine gun) has an approximate maximum effective range of about 1,500 meters (1,640 yards) against ground targets and up to 2,000 meters (2,187 yards) against aerial targets. Its powerful .50 BMG cartridge allows it to deliver significant firepower over long distances. However, practical engagement ranges may vary based on factors like target type, environmental conditions, and the skill of the operator.
The M2HB .50 caliber machine gun has an estimated service life of around 20,000 rounds, although this can vary based on factors such as maintenance, usage conditions, and the specific variant. With proper care and routine maintenance, some M2HBs can remain operational beyond this range. The design's robustness and reliability have allowed it to be in service for several decades across various military branches and conflicts.
