Changes: Browning M1919

Latest revision as of 11:01, 30 January 2024

For another variant, see Stinger (light machine gun).

For other uses, see Browning.

The Browning M1919 (also known as the .30 Cal) is an American machine gun present in most Call of Duty installments set in World War II, as well as in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized.

Call of Duty: United Offensive

The M1919A6 .30 cal appears in Call of Duty: United Offensive.

Campaign

The M1919 is the American light machine gun of choice. It uses a 150-round belt, and can kill in just a few rounds. It is found both mounted and portable, although the portable version is very rare and therefore ammo is scarce. It does not have much recoil, and has fairly good iron sights.

Multiplayer

In multiplayer, it is available for both the British and American teams, and uses a 75-round belt. It can still deal one-shot headshots or three shots to the body even at extreme ranges. Its recoil is low, allowing it to be accurate even at max distance, but its reload time is very slow and its rate of fire cannot match a Submachine gun in close range.

Call of Duty: Finest Hour

"The Browning .30 Cal is a company-level flexible machine gun. It is most effectively used with its bipod deployed, and can lay down an impressive barrage of fire."

— Manual description

In Call of Duty: Finest Hour, the M1919A6 (also referred to as "Browning .30") appears in only a few levels during the American campaign. As with the MG42 in the game, it cannot be aimed unless prone and with its bipod enabled. It is powerful, and will kill an enemy in one or two hits. It can be found first in the Ghostly Room easter egg on the ground beside the stairs in the level Underground Passage. In Road to Remagen, it is seen by where the German plane is shot down, with only 99 bullets loaded. In Last Bridge Standing, it is in the warehouse district, again with 99 bullets. Later it is found in the level Into the Heartland where it has a lot of ammo, consisting of its full 100-round belt and 300 rounds in reserve. It is very useful for this level, where there are fallen beams with enemies taking cover. Half of the belt will dispose of this, and around 200-300 rounds will be left over for the towers. With the added stock and foregrip, this model of the .30 Cal is the most accurately portable to date.

Call of Duty 2

Campaign

The .30 cal is only available in the form of a mounted turret. It still has high damage, especially in singleplayer. It also has a high rate of fire and good range and accuracy. Being mounted, its sights are unusable and only a small cross can be used to aim. However, this cross is very small and can easily be used for pin-point accuracy. The Browning also has a lot of muzzle flash, which can obstruct the player's view.

Multiplayer

It is still only available mounted. It can get one-shot headshots, or three shot kills to other parts of the body. It has fairly good accuracy, but being immobile restricts its use.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One

"The U.S. M1919A6 weighs 32lbs and uses a folding bipod mounted at the front of the weapon. .30-06, 250-round belt."

— Description

In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the M1919A6 .30 cal (referred to as Browning .30 cal in the Bonus Materials) appears first in the level Counterattack as a mounted weapon, and appears as a portable weapon in the level Operation Husky. It is powerful, and will usually kill an enemy in three hits or less. When aiming, the player will automatically go prone and aim with the bipod on the ground unless he is standing near a ledge or other objects capable of mounting the weapon.

Call of Duty 3

".30 cal machinegun. Reliable belt fed, air-cooled recoil operated squad machine gun employed by U.S. troops during WWII. Cyclic rate of 400-600 rounds per minute with an effective range of 1000 yards."

— Bonus materials description

The M1919A6 .30 cal (listed as Browning M1919A6 in the Bonus Materials) appears in Call of Duty 3.

Campaign

The mounted M1919A6 can be found in "The Mace" in the trenches when the player advances up the hill, and at the beginning of the last level Chambois in a mounted form to defend against the initial German attack, although the player is likely to take a lot of fire while using it, since it is very exposed. The M1919A6 is very powerful, killing enemies in 1-2 well-placed shots. Because of its infinite ammunition supply, the player does not need to be resourceful when using the M1919A6. The portable version of the M1919A6 that appears in multiplayer does not appear in campaign.

Multiplayer

Whereas the M1919A6 is only mounted in the campaign, it is portable in multiplayer. When being aimed, the player automatically goes prone and places the bipod on the ground, although mounting points are available in most maps, such as low walls, windows, railings, etc.

The M1919A6 is very powerful, capable of killing enemies in 3-4 shots. However, at longer ranges it is very difficult to operate, as the iron sights obstruct a lot of the player's view and the player is required to be in prone position when aiming. At incredibly short ranges, the player should not aim the weapon, as this will result in them automatically going to prone position. Therefore, it is recommended that the M1919A6 should be used at medium-short ranges.

Call of Duty: World at War

"American heavy machine gun with moderate power. Effective at medium to long range."

— Description

Campaign

The player starts with an M1919 during the missions "Blowtorch & Corkscrew" and "Relentless". The M1919 can picked on the level "Breaking Point". Ammo for the M1919 is scarce and if not used wisely, the player can run out very quickly. One exception of this is in "Relentless", as the large number of M1919s are on the ground and one near a bunker on the left of the AA gun. It has a very long reloading time compared to the MG42. The M1919 can also be seen mounted and usable on a Russian T-34 in the mission "Ring of Steel". However, it has the firing sound of the DP-28. A different variant of vehicle mounted M1919 featuring a large ringed aircraft sight is also used during the mission Black Cats.

Interestingly, this is the only portable machine gun in the campaign that uses iron sights when mounted with the bipod. When it is mounted, when the ADS button is not pressed, the player will look down the sights; pressing ADS will simply increase the level of zoom. But in multiplayer when mounted it will use the standard aiming cross, except for the one mounted on the T-34 tank.

Multiplayer

The M1919 is unlocked at level 61.

The M1919's damage is good and consistent. The M1919 deals 40 damage at any distance, which translates into a three shot kill, a two shot kill if both bullets are headshots, or a one shot kill at any range in Hardcore game modes. The M1919 deals the same damage at all distances, meaning that the M1919 is one of the deadliest weapons in long range combat. While rifles, SMGs, and even some other MGs lack some bullet power at a distance, the M1919 has no shortage of it. The M1919 also has very good penetration power, meaning the M1919 can easily shoot through walls with efficiency.

If Stopping Power is equipped on the M1919, the damage is raised to 56 at all ranges. This makes the M1919 a two shot kill at any range.

The M1919's rate of fire is average, and for an LMG, is a tad slow. The M1919 fires at a rate of 625 RPM, or slightly over 10 shots per second. The M1919's rate of fire is a middle-of-the-road value for the LMG's, where it fires faster than the BAR and the DP-28, but fires slower than all other MG's. Combined with the M1919's bullet power, the M1919 is fairly good at close quarters combat, but not spectacular.

The M1919's iron sights are odd, as the rear sight is extremely obstructive of peripheral view, but the front post is quite clear. The M1919's recoil is unpredictable, having a moderate amount of recoil going up and to the sides. The M1919's accuracy isn't beginner friendly, but for an experienced player, it's manageable.

The M1919 has a mix and mash of contrasting handling traits. Unusually for a weapon in the machine gun category, the M1919 lets the player move at 100% of the base speed. On the other hand, the hip-fire spread is moderately large, and aim down sight time is slow. The M1919 has one of the longest reload times in the game, taking about 6 seconds to reload the weapon. Players need to conceal themselves away from the battle if they wish not to be killed mid-reload.

The M1919's magazine capacity is tied with the MG42 for the largest in the game, holding 50 rounds in each belt. This is very large, and with the M1919's good power, it makes reloading less frequent. The user spawns with 100 rounds, meaning Bandolier isn't usually necessary.

The M1919 has only one attachment available for usage: the Bipod. Using the Bipod is generally not recommended, as the player is forced to stand still, meaning that stray enemies that find the player can easily kill them. Using the Bipod on the M1919 also wouldn't put the weapon to its greatest potential, as it has the niche of a much higher movement rate than other MG's, which is effectively nullified if the Bipod is deployed. An MG like the MG42 would be much better suited for using the attachment, as it is less mobile than the M1919.

Nazi Zombies

The M1919 is available on all Nazi Zombies levels, but only from the Mystery Box. It is widely considered one of the best guns available in Nazi Zombies due to its high damage, large magazine, and high reserve ammo count. It's comparable to the MG42, but with a slower rate of fire, though this can help save ammo. On the other hand, it reloads considerably more slowly than the MG42, making it more dangerous to use when in zombies are close.

In Der Riese, it can be upgraded to the "B115 Accelerator", featuring a higher rate of fire, and more spare ammunition. Since this weapon has a long reload time, Speed Cola and reload cancelling are necessary if one wishes to use it as a front-line weapon. Double Tap Root Beer can increase its rate of fire, this comes at the cost of increased ammunition consumption; tap firing when fighting small groups of zombies can remedy this. Mobility is very slow, so the user will have to sprint to avoid the hordes of zombies.

Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS)

The M1919 in Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS) has the same rate of fire as the console and PC version. The player can carry it, and mount it where there are glowing machine gun mounts. When mounted, it has unlimited ammo, and no recoil, making it a very effective weapon. However the player cannot shoot, or melee while carrying it. Oddly, it is used by all factions except for the Germans, and it is absent from multiplayer.

Call of Duty: Zombies

The M1919 can be found in the Mystery Box, like the console version. It is very similar to the MG42, but with a slower rate of fire, which can be useful when firing single shots.

Gallery

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized

The M1919 appears in Mobilized as a machine gun used by the Insurgents. It is mainly available in a mounted form, but can be found as a portable emplacement which the player can carry and mount it when designated. The 3-D model when portable is the same as the one in Call of Duty: World at War on DS with improved texture detail.

Gallery

Call of Duty: WWII

Campaign

The M1919 is the main mounted machine gun of the American forces. Unlike its multiplayer counterpart, the M1919 can be dismounted and used as a portable weapon much like the MG 42, and uses a 250-round belt.

Multiplayer

The M1919 appears exclusively in the War Mode, where it is mounted on the American tank. It has a significantly lower rate of fire than in previous installments. To balance this out, its damage is much higher, netting consistent two-shot-kills at most ranges. As well, the obstructive rectangle around the iron sights from previous installments of the series has been removed, and only the front post remains, providing pinpoint accurate sights that can be used at all ranges.

A similar weapon called the Stinger was made available as a portable light machine gun in multiplayer and Zombies with the Attack of the Undead event.

Trivia

General

Like the MG42, the Deployable Browning M1919 in Call of Duty: World at War will overheat if deployed, however, the one in Call of Duty: United Offensive will not (along with Deployable MG34 and DP28).

Call of Duty 2

In Call of Duty 2, the M1919 in "The Crossing Point" has an ammo belt.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One

In Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, the weapon always has a full ammunition belt, but when the reload animation begins the belt will vanish without any obvious reason.
If the weapon is reloaded while the bipod is deployed in Big Red One and the aim button is released, the animation will play twice, but the second time will not decrease the player's mobility.

Call of Duty 3

The Call of Duty 3 M1919 has the number "7.62" written on the rear iron sight.

Call of Duty: World at War

The mission, "Breaking Point", has a soldier (who can be saved or killed) seen after exiting the tunnels listed as a submachine gunner, even though he has an M1919.
On the Soviet T-34, the MG turret for the tank appears to be an M1919.
If the player looks at the Browning from third-person view, there is no ammo belt on the weapon.
As with all bipods the bipod will appear extended when viewed from third person instead of retracted as viewed from first person.
In both single player and multiplayer mode, when the Browning is mounted, one bullet fired would be equal to a three bullet burst fire. This applies to the other mountable machine guns as well.
The ammo belt's animation is strange. When firing full-auto, the belt appears to be going in constantly, but if only single shots are fired, the belt appears to be pulled in then let out a bit every shot. Also, even with a few shots left, the belt will all be there, and will be pulled into the weapon with extreme speed on the last shot.
Takeo Masaki uses a Pack-a-Punched M1919 in the Der Riese trailer.

Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS)

In World at War (DS), the ammo counter always says that there are 999 rounds in the belt and no rounds in reserve, despite the weapon having unlimited ammunition. This is also true in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized.

Call of Duty: WWII

When manning a deployed M1919, the bipod appears attached the end of the barrel in a similar fashion to the MG 42. However, the world view of a deployed M1919 shows the bipod attached to the middle of the gun, where the barrel and receiver meet.
The M1919 in Liberation is mounted on a unique tripod stand.
- When manning the M1919, the bipod appears retracted and the tripod mount is not visible.
- Once the player takes the M1919 off the original tripod, they cannot remount it on the tripod and it will have to be redeployed normally.

However, at longer ranges it is very difficult to operate, as the [[iron sights]] obstruct a lot of the player's view and the player is required to be in prone position when aiming. At incredibly short ranges, the player should not aim the weapon, as this will result in them automatically going to prone position. Therefore, it is recommended that the M1919A6 should be used at medium-short ranges.
-The .30 Cal takes a much shorter time to setup than the MG34, making it a much better weapon. Going prone to aim throws enemies' aim off, and being immediately able to fire the weapon once prone, the .30 Cal is deadly at any range.

-== Call of Duty: World at War ==
+The player starts with an M1919 during the missions "[[Blowtorch & Corkscrew]]" and "[[Relentless]]". The M1919 can picked on the level "[[Breaking Point]]". Ammo for the M1919 is scarce and if not used wisely, the player can run out very quickly. One exception of this is in "[[Relentless]]", as the large number of M1919s are on the ground and one near a bunker on the left of the AA gun. It has a very long reloading time compared to the MG42. The M1919 can also be seen mounted and usable on a Russian [[T-34]] in the mission "[[Ring of Steel]]". However, it has the firing sound of the [[DP-28]]. A different variant of vehicle mounted M1919 featuring a large ringed aircraft sight is also used during the mission [[Black Cats]].

+Interestingly, this is the only portable machine gun in the campaign that uses iron sights when mounted with the bipod. When it is mounted, when the ADS button is not pressed, the player will look down the sights; pressing ADS will simply increase the level of zoom. But in multiplayer when mounted it will use the standard aiming cross, except for the one mounted on the T-34 tank.
-===Singleplayer===
-The player starts with an M1919 during the missions "[[Blowtorch & Corkscrew]]" and "[[Relentless]]". The M1919 can picked on the level [[Breaking Point]]. This weapon is extremely good, although at times it is clumsy.
 ===Multiplayer===
+The M1919 is unlocked at level 61.
-The M1919 is unlocked at level 61. Compared to most other machine guns, minding the MG42, the M1919 has a high rate of fire and high damage. Its iron sights can be considered "odd" by some, but still usable. On the Wii version it has an extra part on the iron sights, making it less "odd". Also on the Wii version, some ignore this gun because of the lower rate of fire and how the aiming works different than in single player, (in single player the iron sights will stay in the middle of the screen when moving, but in multiplayer the sights can move to the edge of the screen) making it partially block the players vision when tracking a target.
+The M1919's damage is good and consistent. The M1919 deals 40 damage at any distance, which translates into a three shot kill, a two shot kill if both bullets are headshots, or a one shot kill at any range in Hardcore game modes. The M1919 deals the same damage at all distances, meaning that the M1919 is one of the deadliest weapons in long range combat. While rifles, SMGs, and even some other MGs lack some bullet power at a distance, the M1919 has no shortage of it. The M1919 also has very good [[Surface Penetration|penetration]] power, meaning the M1919 can easily shoot through walls with efficiency.
-One important, and odd, advantage of the M1919 is that it has the same movement speed as an SMG.
+If [[Stopping Power]] is equipped on the M1919, the damage is raised to 56 at all ranges. This makes the M1919 a two shot kill at any range.
-Its main flaws are its long reload time and awful hip accuracy. If wielded correctly, though, this is a weapon to be reckoned with, being effective at mid-long ranges and somewhat decent at close range. Common perks used with the M1919 to maximize its good points or make up for its flaws are usually [[Sleight of Hand]], [[Stopping Power]], [[Steady Aim]], and [[Deep Impact]]. Sleight of Hand is indeed handy as the reload time for the M1919 is the longest out of all the weapons of ''[[Call of Duty: World at War]]''. [[Double Tap]] and Steady Aim can make this weapon excellent for room-clearing. Be warned, as ADS accuracy decreases with Double Tap. With Stopping Power this weapon becomes a two-shot kill anywhere or three-shot kill without Stopping Power, unless the target is using [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Juggernaut Juggernaut], [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Second_Chance Second Chance], or is behind cover.
+The M1919's rate of fire is average, and for an LMG, is a tad slow. The M1919 fires at a rate of 625 RPM, or slightly over 10 shots per second. The M1919's rate of fire is a middle-of-the-road value for the LMG's, where it fires faster than the [[BAR]] and the [[DP-28]], but fires slower than all other MG's. Combined with the M1919's bullet power, the M1919 is fairly good at close quarters combat, but not spectacular.
-This weapon is quite good at long ranges, even if the amount of sway may be impeding. It is best to use controlled bursts instead of attempting continuous fire as one will be using quite a lot of bullets with this sort of strategy.
+The M1919's iron sights are odd, as the rear sight is extremely obstructive of peripheral view, but the front post is quite clear. The M1919's recoil is unpredictable, having a moderate amount of recoil going up and to the sides. The M1919's accuracy isn't beginner friendly, but for an experienced player, it's manageable.
-This gun is often compared to the [[MG42]], while it is that the MG42 fires bullets faster then the Browning, however the Browning's bullets do more damage. The MG42 does more damage per second, though.
+The M1919 has a mix and mash of contrasting handling traits. Unusually for a weapon in the machine gun category, the M1919 lets the player move at 100% of the base speed. On the other hand, the hip-fire spread is moderately large, and aim down sight time is slow. The M1919 has one of the longest reload times in the game, taking about 6 seconds to reload the weapon. Players need to conceal themselves away from the battle if they wish not to be killed mid-reload.
-=== Nazi Zombies ===
-The M1919 is available on all [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Nazi_Zombies Nazi Zombies] levels, but only from the [[Mystery Box]]. It is widely considered one of the best guns available in Nazi Zombies. It's comparable to the MG42, but with a slower rate of fire.
+The M1919's magazine capacity is tied with the [[MG42]] for the largest in the game, holding 50 rounds in each belt. This is very large, and with the M1919's good power, it makes reloading less frequent. The user spawns with 100 rounds, meaning [[Bandolier]] isn't usually necessary.
-In [[Der Riese]], can be [[Pack-a-Punch Machine|upgraded]] to the [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Pack-A-Punch_Weapons B-115] [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Pack-A-Punch_Weapons Accelerator] when put in the [http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Pack-a-Punch_Machine Pack-a-Punch Machine], featuring a higher rate of fire, more power, and more spare ammunition.
+The M1919 has only one attachment available for usage: the [[Bipod]]. Using the Bipod is generally not recommended, as the player is forced to stand still, meaning that stray enemies that find the player can easily kill them. Using the Bipod on the M1919 also wouldn't put the weapon to its greatest potential, as it has the niche of a much higher movement rate than other MG's, which is effectively nullified if the Bipod is deployed. An MG like the MG42 would be much better suited for using the attachment, as it is less mobile than the M1919.

+===Nazi Zombies===
-{{clear}}
+The M1919 is available on all [[Zombies (Treyarch)|Nazi Zombies]] levels, but only from the [[Mystery Box]]. It is widely considered one of the best guns available in Nazi Zombies due to its high damage, large magazine, and high reserve ammo count. It's comparable to the MG42, but with a slower rate of fire, though this can help save ammo. On the other hand, it reloads considerably more slowly than the MG42, making it more dangerous to use when in zombies are close.
+In [[Der Riese]], it can be [[Pack-a-Punch Machine|upgraded]] to the "'''B115 Accelerator'''", featuring a higher rate of fire, and more spare ammunition. Since this weapon has a long reload time, [[Speed Cola]] and reload cancelling are necessary if one wishes to use it as a front-line weapon. [[Double Tap Root Beer]] can increase its rate of fire, this comes at the cost of increased ammunition consumption; tap firing when fighting small groups of zombies can remedy this. Mobility is very slow, so the user will have to sprint to avoid the hordes of zombies.

-== Trivia ==
+The M1919 appears in ''Mobilized'' as a machine gun used by the [[Insurgency|Insurgents]]. It is mainly available in a mounted form, but can be found as a portable emplacement which the player can carry and mount it when designated. The 3-D model when portable is the same as the one in ''[[Call of Duty: World at War]]'' on DS with improved texture detail.
-*In the Wii version of ''[[Call of Duty: World at War]]'', the mid-magazine reload animation is the same as the empty reload. Also on PC, in multiplayer the mid-magazine reload animation is the same as the empty reload, unlike in singleplayer, where the player will take the old belt with ammunition out and insert a new one when mid-magazine reloading, and just insert the new belt into the gun if it is empty.
-*There is a piece of cloth wrapped around the barrel jacket of the weapon, which is where one would place one's hand. It is there to prevent a burn caused by the quick overheating when firing for extended times.

-*The mission [[Breaking Point]] has a soldier (who can be saved or killed) seen after exiting the tunnels listed as a submachine gunner, even though he has an M1919.

-*On the Soviet [[T-34]], the MG turret for the tank appears to be an M1919, which the Soviet Army never fielded.
+M1919 MW Mobilized.jpg|The Browning M1919 mounted
-*The Browning finishes reloading once the player hits the top of the gun with their fist, so double tapping the weapon switch button ("Y" for the [[Xbox 360]], "mouse wheel or 1" for the [[PC]], "Right" on the D-pad for [[Wii]] and "Triangle" for the [[Playstation 3|PlayStation 3]]) afterwards effectively cuts the reload time in half, eliminating the need for Sleight of Hand. This tactic is known as [[Reload cancel|Reload Canceling]]. The concept of add time applies here. This is also recommended for the [[MG42]].

-*If the player looks at the Browning from third-person view, there is no ammo belt on the weapon, this is most easily seen on [[Breaking Point]] as the soldier with the M1919 is in a pose where the machine gun can be seen.

+===Campaign===
+The '''M1919''' is the main mounted machine gun of the American forces. Unlike its multiplayer counterpart, the M1919 can be dismounted and used as a portable weapon much like the [[MG42|MG 42]], and uses a 250-round belt.
+===Multiplayer===
+The M1919 appears exclusively in the [[War Mode]], where it is mounted on the American tank. It has a significantly lower rate of fire than in previous installments. To balance this out, its damage is much higher, netting consistent two-shot-kills at most ranges. As well, the obstructive rectangle around the iron sights from previous installments of the series has been removed, and only the front post remains, providing pinpoint accurate sights that can be used at all ranges.
+A similar weapon called the [[Stinger (light machine gun)|Stinger]] was made available as a portable [[light machine gun]] in multiplayer and Zombies with the [[Attack of the Undead]] event.

+==Trivia==
+===General===
+*Like the [[MG42]], the Deployable Browning M1919 in ''Call of Duty: World at War'' will overheat if deployed, however, the one in ''Call of Duty: United Offensive'' will not (along with Deployable [[MG34]] and [[DP28]]).
+===Call of Duty 2===
+*In ''[[Call of Duty 2]]'', the M1919 in "[[The Crossing Point]]" has an ammo belt.
+===Call of Duty 2: Big Red One===
+*In ''[[Call of Duty 2: Big Red One]]'', the weapon always has a full ammunition belt, but when the reload animation begins the belt will vanish without any obvious reason.
+*If the weapon is reloaded while the bipod is deployed in ''Big Red One'' and the aim button is released, the animation will play twice, but the second time will not decrease the player's mobility.
+===Call of Duty 3===
+*The Call of Duty 3 M1919 has the number "7.62" written on the rear iron sight.
+===Call of Duty: World at War===
+*The mission, "[[Breaking Point]]", has a soldier (who can be saved or killed) seen after exiting the tunnels listed as a submachine gunner, even though he has an M1919.
+*On the [[Soviet]] [[T-34]], the MG turret for the tank appears to be an M1919.
+*If the player looks at the Browning from third-person view, there is no ammo belt on the weapon.
+*As with all bipods the [[bipod]] will appear extended when viewed from third person instead of retracted as viewed from first person.
+*In both single player and multiplayer mode, when the Browning is mounted, one bullet fired would be equal to a three bullet burst fire. This applies to the other mountable machine guns as well.
+*The ammo belt's animation is strange. When firing full-auto, the belt appears to be going in constantly, but if only single shots are fired, the belt appears to be pulled in then let out a bit every shot. Also, even with a few shots left, the belt will all be there, and will be pulled into the weapon with extreme speed on the last shot.
+*Takeo Masaki uses a Pack-a-Punched M1919 in the Der Riese trailer.
+===Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS)===
+*In ''World at War (DS)'', the ammo counter always says that there are 999 rounds in the belt and no rounds in reserve, despite the weapon having unlimited ammunition. This is also true in ''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Mobilized''.
+===Call of Duty: WWII===
+*When manning a deployed M1919, the bipod appears attached the end of the barrel in a similar fashion to the [[MG 42]]. However, the world view of a deployed M1919 shows the bipod attached to the middle of the gun, where the barrel and receiver meet.
+*The M1919 in [[Liberation (mission)|Liberation]] is mounted on a unique tripod stand.
+**When manning the M1919, the bipod appears retracted and the tripod mount is not visible.
+**Once the player takes the M1919 off the original tripod, they cannot remount it on the tripod and it will have to be redeployed normally.
