Headspace refers to the bolt and cartridge case of the round for the M2 .50 caliber machine gun being in alignment. If they are not in alignment could be potentially catastrophic to the gunner and would also put one of the biggest battlefield assets out of the fight. Timing refers to the adjustment of the gun to ensure that the firing takes place when the gun is recoiling. Both are imperative for the gun to work properly.

We plan on discussing randomly chosen blog topics that will be featured on our site in regards to the veteran lifestyle, resources, history, education and laws that may affect them and their families. Just like the M2.50 if our headspace is not aligned with the rest of ourselves, then we are out of the fight.
Follow the link to our first installment of The Headspace and Timing Podcast. We reviewed last week’s blog article, To Address the Veteran Suicide Crises, We Must Acknowledge it’s History.
