Historical profile
Turkey has produced the M2HB locally via MKE since the 1960s; in 2017 CANiK introduced the QCB variant with quick-change barrel and carry handle.
QCB removes the need to set headspace on each barrel swap and speeds up replacement under fire.
Exported to many countries and mounted on Turkish vehicles, tripods and remote weapon stations.
