      The Brazilian military uses a wide variety of machine guns. They are: the FN MAG, Browning M1919A4, the Browning .50 M2 HB, the Danish Madsen converted to .30 caliber, and even the Hotchkiss LMG in 7mm. The Brazilian military has also developed, in the 1990s, its own design called the Uirapuru GPMG in 7.62x51mm.

       Bayonet for Brazilian Mauser

       Canadian Military Conflicts, 1870-Present

      In 1867, under the British North America Act, the Dominion of Canada was created. In 1982 the British Parliament in London gave Canada’s constitution full self control. Because Canada has such close ties to Great Britain, much of Canada’s military history closely follows Great Britain, especially during both World Wars and Vietnam.
