Offered special Browning 50 caliber barrel sleeve / cooling sleeve.

This type of sleeves were mainly used in American bomber (B25 and B29 superfortress) gunners and turrets, also for fighters (P51 mustang) and other aircraft.

The sleeve served as extra protection for the barrel but also provided moderate airflow during flight for optimal cooling of the barrel so that it did not overheat.
