FN Browning, a leading arms manufacturer, reports a doubling of global machine gun demand this year, fueled by the war in Ukraine. The company is seeing renewed interest in historical models, like the World War II-era M2 Browning, which are being refurbished for clients including the US, UK, France, and Australia. This surge extends to ammunition, with demand quadrupling since 2022. FN Browning, owned by the Belgian government, is experiencing its busiest period in decades due to geopolitical tensions and evolving warfare tactics, including drone defense.
