The .303 Browning machine gun was the standard rifle-calibre machien gun used to arm British aircraft during the Second World War. It was developed from the M1919 Browning machine gun, via the Colt '1930 pattern' gun.

The Browning Mk 1 and Mk 2 were older-style Commonwealth designations for the .303 caliber Browning machine guns used on the vast majority of British aircraft of the Second World War at one point or another. The difference between the Mk 1 and Mk 2 versions is unknown, but the weapon visually is quite similar AN/M2 aircraft gun.
