Ukraine war drives surge in demand for FN Browning M2 machine guns

The war in Ukraine has doubled global demand for FN Browning's machine guns, including the century-old M2 Browning, compared to 2022. FN Browning, a major arms manufacturer, is seeing increased orders from allied nations like the US and France, who are supplying Ukraine. The company is also refurbishing older M2 models for military use. This surge in demand for heavy weaponry, including ammunition, marks FN Browning's busiest period since the end of the Cold War, driven by geopolitical tensions and evolving warfare tactics.
