Machine Gun, Cal. .30, M37
The M37 was
an interim modification to the M1919A4 .30 cal. machine gun for
use as a tank machine gun. Ammunition could be fed from either
side giving the machine gun more flexibility in tank mountings
than either the M1919A4 or M1919A5. The M37 had a rate of fire
of 400-550 spm. The model M37C was used as an aircraft gun on
the OH-13 Sioux and OH-23 Raven on the skid-mounted M1 armament
subsystem.
