  • Summary: Army Instructional film on the use of the .30 Browning machine gun from tanks and armoured fighting vehicles such as the Saladin armoured car.

The stabilisation system used in the Centurion tank to ensure accuracy while moving is mentioned briefly, and the correction of sights on a range described in more detail.
