This, along with the M37 and the Browning M2 machine gun, was the most common secondary armament during WWII for the Allies.
As a result, the M2 weighed 2/3 that of the 1919A4 and the lightened mechanism gave it a higher rate of fire — pertinent to use where the target might be in range and in the line of sight for barely a second.
The same basic weapon was also chambered for the British.303 round, and was used as a basic fighter aircraft gun in fighters such as the Supermarine Spitfire until the widespread introduction of the larger caliber Hispano-Suiza HS.404 cannon, and throughout the war in bombers.

M2 Carbine was a late-war development of the M1 Carbine that was reaching front line units on 1945.
The Marushin M2 Carbine is of rare breed as it is chambered to heavy-hitting 8mm BB (most airsoft guns are chambered to 6mm BB) and does not utilize plastic parts.
Despite its intended role both M1 and M2 carbines were popular weapons to be given for South Korean, Vietnamese and post-war Japanese troops as their generally smaller bodies were not so well suited for the heavy and long M1 rifle.

The M2 machine gun, the M60 machine gun and the M134 Minigun are examples of full-automatic weapons, as are the autocannon mounted on many military aircraft and used in other applications such as anti-aircraft defense.
Although automatic firearms (by definition) are capable of full-automatic fire, most also have a selective fire capability, meaning that they can be used as a semi-automatic firearm generally by manipulating a selector switch (as with the M16), or by pressing the trigger further to the rear, as with the Steyr AUG assault rifle.
Roller-delayed blowback is not to be confused with the older roller-locked recoil operated principle, as used in the MG-42 and MG3, where the bolt is rigidly locked to the barrel as it recoils.
