History’s Gun: The Browning .50 Cal 

With a half-inch in diameter bullet, weighing 750 grains, it is effective at nearly a mile-and-a- quarter in defeating light armored vehicles. And the M2 Browning has been doing that essential work for nearly a century, in the skies, on the ground, and at sea. Updated versions of the Ma Duce are still being produced and are still deployed today. The Browning 50 Cal is now one of History’s Guns

The National Shooting Sports Foundation reports over 15 million Americans have purchased new firearms so far this year and over five million of those were buying a gun for the first time. That has exploded the demand for training classes at ranges across the country. It’s basic training for beginners who have never before even touched a firearm, but they’re gunning-up in a year when personal defense has suddenly become a priority. 

Several of these beginning and returning shooters said they felt the need to learn on the range and in the classroom. At Royal Range in Nashville, it’s basic gun operation and how to protect themselves with a firearm and this kind of instruction does help them feel safer and better able to handle whatever threat may come.

Royal Range’s Director of Training, Bob Allen, was a Nashville Police Officer and firearms instructor for 34 years.  Now, he works with everyone from elite SWAT teams to raw beginners, teaching safe firearms handling and responsible self-defense.
