Mounted in a quad configuration, the M2 .50cal machine gun made a highly effective anti-aircraft weapon in the hands of the American soldier during World War Two.

The M51 mount did not a have high degree of mobility when compared to other mounts used during the war. It was often restricted to locations with good roads and could not be man-handled into position quickly. These factors made the M51 suitable for semi-stationary roles such as protecting artillery positions and supply depots from potential air attack.
