5 fiscal years of this program as published (FY2022–FY2026): a line through the actuals (filled dots), with the enacted (hollow circles) and request (diamonds) markers each edition reported. Read it for direction, not for precision — this program's actuals line rises across the span, and 1 year is a break in the line rather than a low value: an edition the program is absent from, never interpolated. The grid below is the same data as text, one cited figure per cell.

It mounts on the M205 tripod and on most vehicles, and serves as an anti-personnel and anti-aircraft weapon. It is highly effective against light armored vehicles, low-and slow-flying aircraft, and small boats. The M2A1 provides automatic weapon suppressive fire for offensive and defensive purposes. It is capable of single-shot and automatic fire. The M2A1 provides enhancements to allow the Soldier to quickly change barrels without the need to reset the headspace and timing while also reducing the visible muzzle flash.
