Vickers 50. machine gun

The '''Vickers 50. machine gun (also known as the Vickers 50.''') was a scaled up version of the Vickers machine gun.

History
The gun was considered a good weapon for the 1930s but quickly became outdated during the 1940s. During the early stages of World War II it was mounted on British ships and used as a close range anti-aircraft weapon. In combat the Vickers 50. proved ineffective and was replaced on land by the 15mm Besa Machine Gun. The Royal Navy replaced the gun with the Oerlikon 20mm.
