How do you unlock the Browning M1919?

The Browning M1919 unlocks at Level 61 in Call of Duty: World at War (2008). The Level 61 Browning carries 50 rounds and holds 40 damage without range falloff. It also keeps full base movement speed, but moderate unpredictable recoil, slow aim-down-sight timing and a roughly 6.45-second reload demand cover and disciplined bursts. World at War multiplayer has no selectable weapon camos; Expert headshot challenges award XP only.

AttachmentsBipod — 25 kills; Bipod is the only attachment; deploy where cover protects the reload and a second route is visible

Compared withIt trades the MG42's faster rate of fire for constant 40 damage and faster movement; the DP-28 offers a support role much earlier at Level 13.
