Equipment
Overview
M1919A4 is an overall solid MG thanks to her well-distributed stats and good Skill. M1919A4 has great Damage and average Accuracy, but her main merit comes from her Skill. Featuring a 3 second Initial Cooldown, it will actually see use in battle -- a distinction most MGs’ don’t possess due to the shorter length of their battles when compared to other Echelon compositions. M1919A4’s Skill itself isn’t bad as well, covering for many prevalent weaknesses of MGs by increasing her Accuracy. Overall, she’s a great budget choice who would be a good fit for a SGMG Echelon.

Strengths
Well-Distributed Stats
Unlike many other MGs, M1919A4 has a solid stat distribution which features one of the highest Damage stats among all MGs as well as average Accuracy.
Decent Skill
M1919A4 has a solid Skill featuring a 3 second Initial Cooldown, allowing it to actually be used within the span of battle. The Skill itself is also decent, compensating for the inherently low Accuracy of MGs in various ways.
Weaknesses
Small Magazine
M1919A4 when compared to the big 4 MGs has a low magazine capacity at 9 ammo per magazine. This lowers her volley damage compared to them.
Full Analysis
M1919A4 is a reasonably good MG due to her overall well-rounded kit.
The main merit to using M1919A4 is that unlike most MGs, she brings a good amount of balance to the table. The first merit to her kit is her solid stat distribution. MGs, unlike other classes, do not make use of RoF to boost their overall damage output. Therefore, since MGs heavily rely on Damage and Accuracy, poor stat distribution is much more likely to happen in their staline. M1919A4, on the other hand, has one of the highest Damage stats out of the MGs as well as average Accuracy. Considering her Accuracy can be compensated for by her Skill, however, it isn’t as big of a deal as it could be. If there was a blemish on M1919A4’s stats, it would be her low magazine capacity -- as she only shoots 9 times per volley at base, her damage output falls behind other MGs that can fire 10 or even 11 times in one volley, even if they have slightly worse stats.
While M1919A4’s stats are better than most, the factor that actually makes or breaks MGs is their Skill. M1919A4 has a solid Skill that features a 3 second Initial Cooldown, which is second to only to passive Skills. Since MGs should ideally finish the battle within the first 5 seconds due to their inherent long reload times, shorter cooldown Skills (or passives) will make the difference between actually seeing use or essentially being useless. M1919A4’s Skill isn’t only good for its Initial Cooldown, however -- it also helps solve problems inherent with MGs. First of all, the guaranteed critical hit in M1919A4’s Skill makes up for the inherently low Crit Rate of MGs, and allows M1919A4 to equip EOT sights instead of VFL scopes, helping compensate for her low Accuracy. In addition, her Skill itself provides up to a 65% Accuracy buff, letting her be self-sufficient when it comes to Accuracy.
One thing to note about M1919A4 is that she does provide Armor buffs through her buff tiles, which are always greatly appreciated by any SG. As M1919A4 buffs top right from the bottom left, however, she must be used in a 2SG echelon to actually buff an SG with it which is less than ideal. Therefore, rather than an actual positive, M1919A4’s tiles can be useful, but should usually be disregarded.
All in all, M1919A4 is a good MG to use in many scenarios. As far as budget options go, her 3 star rarity makes her an excellent choice for accessibility reasons alone, but her merits make her a strong MG regardless.

Team Options
-
SGs with Damage Buffs - M1919A4, like most MGs, only need Accuracy or Damage buffs -- thanks to her Skill, however, M1919A4 is self-sufficient with Accuracy if an EOT is employed. Therefore, Damage buffs will assist her more. Some examples of units that can give her these buffs are KSG and M37.
-
HGs with Damage Buffs - As M1919A4 has high Accuracy from just an EOT sight and her Skill, Accuracy buffs aren’t as necessary on her, and Damage buffs are preferred. A few units that can fit this role are Mk23, SAA, and Grizzly.
-
MGs - As MGs are selfish attackers, they can be used in conjunction with each other without consideration for synergy. Some MGs that can be used with M1919A4 are PK, PKP, and MG5.

History/Trivia
The M1919A4 Browning is the most common version of the M1919, first produced in 1936. It saw use both on vehicles and on flexible mounts with infantry throughout WWII -- but as general-purpose machine guns started to release in the 1950s, the M1919A4 was pushed out of mainstream use. They were still used on and off, however, all the way up to the 1990s.
