The M1919 Browning is an American .30-06 Springfield (later 7.62×51mm NATO) medium machine gun used extensively throughout World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. An air-cooled evolution of the water-cooled M1917, it served as the standard U.S. infantry, vehicle, and aircraft machine gun.

The Johnson M1941 Light Machine Gun is a magazine-fed automatic weapon designed by Melvin Johnson and produced during World War II. It shares the same short-recoil operating principle as the Johnson M1941 Rifle but is configured for sustained automatic fire. The LMG fires the .30-06 Springfield cartridge from a 20-round detachable box magazine. It features a quick-change barrel, a bipod, and a rear monopod. The Johnson LMG was lighter than the Browning Automatic Rifle at 13 pounds. It was adopted in limited numbers by the U.S. Marine Corps and the Dutch East Indies Army.

The M1919A6 was an American lightened variant of the M1919A4 Browning machine gun, developed during World War II for mobile infantry use. It featured a bipod, a shoulder stock, and a lighter barrel to serve as a squad automatic weapon. The weapon was an attempt to create a more portable machine gun without developing an entirely new design.

The Browning M2 .30 caliber is an aircraft variant of John Browning's M1919 machine gun series. It was designed for fixed and flexible mounting on American military aircraft. The AN/M2 differs from the ground M1919 in having a thinner profile barrel for cooling and a higher rate of fire. It fires the .30-06 Springfield cartridge from a disintegrating metal link belt. The AN/M2 was the standard American aircraft machine gun at the start of World War II.

The Browning M1917A1 is a heavy machine gun designed by John Browning. It is a recoil-operated, belt-fed weapon chambered in .30-06 Springfield.

The M1917A1 was also used by many allied nations around the world.
