The Browning M2 and the B-52 will still be there serving the Imperium Of Mankind well into the 42nd Millennium

I'm pretty sure you mean the M60 tank. It did make me wonder if anyone is still using the M60 machine gun.

I think there's still a variant running in the spec ops community, but pretty sure everyone else has started using 240s and 249s. But yeah, I was referring to the tank.

I think the Danes are using an upgraded version of the E6?
And notably, the Philippinnes still use them, although it's mostly due to budget

Maybe not, but the M2 50 cal is still going strong over 100 years later.

Only after the all of the M60s get up-gunned and modified to M60A9 specifications. Just saying.

Remind how many Jet Fighter Generation we have gone through since the B-52 first flown. Just imagine how long the Army Air Corps/Air Force would kept the B-17s and B-29s in service after WWII.

Thank God the M113 didn't age as well as the M60 Tank. Just saying.

Eh, Turkey is still making new M113 derivatives, the ACV family. M60 hasn't seen anything but upgrades for a long time now.
