the M2 barrel can be swapped in under 15sec. in my unit, we could swap a hot barrel, check headspace, and re-time the gun in under 15sec. backing off two click is high precision. low precision would mean not knowing how many to back it off by. two clicks allow for adjustment if a low precision fit is encountered. but the fact that two clicks almost always works speaks to the precision.
M2 can be moved by two people. I was all of 120lb my first combat deployment, and even i could carry the M2 with barrel installed by myself. I'd even mount and un-mount it in the turrets all by myself (getting it up into the vehicles, and up into the turret and mounted by myself). and then you have the second guy carry the tripod. you're not moving far nor fast though. but in reality, any .50cal needs a vehicle of some sort once you factor in sufficient ammo for an engagement.
We used WW2 M2 from B17 in combat, and they never failed us, no mater the conditions, no matter how dirty. the most reliable weapon i've used in teh Army.
M2 is the best and most reliable weapon I ever had, and my first choice in combat.
