Trivia
- Prior to the standardization of ammunition, there used to be 14.5mm, which was a high-velocity variant of the 12.7mm
- Vehicles that previously used it were changed to use 12.7mm, but were given a high-velocity modifier (this kept its damage the same)
- In Update 1.52, all tank machine guns using 12.7mm were standardized, which gave them the exact same handling depending on their 'style' (identified by their ammo count and SFX)
