www.thearmorylife.com/m42-duster/ The article "M42 Duster — From Fighting Jets to Battling Guerrillas" by Friedrich Seiltgen, published on The Armory Life, explores the history and evolution of the M42 "Duster," a light armored air defense system originally developed for the U.S. Army from 1952 to 1960. Initially built to combat jets, the M42 gained fame for its effectiveness against ground forces during the Vietnam War, where it was known as the "Fire Dragon" by the Viet Cong. Powered by a 500-horsepower engine, the M42 was equipped with twin Bofors 40mm L/60 guns with a fire rate of 240 rounds per minute and was instrumental in several military roles, including convoy escort and perimeter defense. Despite its capabilities, the Duster's gasoline engine was prone to catching fire, and its ammunition was highly sensitive. Eventually, in the jet age, Dusters were phased out in favor of missile systems, and the remaining units were handed over to the National Guard and the Republic of Vietnam's army, marking the end of their combat role by 1988.

www.thearmorylife.com/m2-browning-50-caliber-machine-gun/ The article from The Armory Life, written by Will Dabbs, MD, delves into the history and legacy of the M2 .50-caliber machine gun, affectionately nicknamed "Ma Deuce." This formidable weapon was born out of the necessity during World War I when General John J. Pershing needed a solution to contend with German observation balloons and airplanes. Developed with the collaboration of John Moses Browning and Winchester, the M2's design utilized insights from the German Mauser Tankgewehr M1918, ultimately creating the .50 BMG cartridge. Over the decades, the M2 has evolved, including the M2A1 variant introduced in 2010 with an improved barrel system. Despite being over a century old, its exceptional range, reliability, and versatility have ensured its place as a staple on various military vehicles and platforms worldwide, solidifying Browning's creation as a timeless piece of engineering in the military history of the United States and beyond.
