Browning M2

Does anyone have good images - line drawings, exploded view, etc. of the Browning M2 .50 Cal machine gun used on bomber aircraft in WW-II?

This site has a good overview of the AN/M2 .50 caliber Browning. http://browningmgs.com/AirGunnery/01_50cal.htm

Late in the war the AN/M3 was introduced which had a higher rate of fire. Today FN sells the M3M and M3P which seems to be modern versions of the design and are used on a number of US helicopters.
