The General Dynamics XM312 is a .50 caliber, lightweight heavy machine gun. Developed by General Dynamics. Currently under development with a 100 box ammo box with a belt inside and the ammo box is attached to the gun. Also it was built to replace the M2 Browning Machine Gun because it is too heavy and too old so the US military totally need something to replace it, so the US military requested few companies and General Dynamics accepted the request and start developing it. In September 2005 the US military started firing the XM312.

- In Battlefield: Bad Company, the XM312 is a mounted machine gun used by the United States Army. It is usually mounted on a tripod with a ballistic shield, and appears mostly in Conquest, making only a few rare appearances in Rush, where it is usually replaced by the KORD. It is also mounted on the HMMWV.
- The XM312 is a heavy machine gun derived from the XM307 25 mm autocannon and chambered for the .50 BMG cartridge. It was designed in response to a request by the U.S. military for a replacement for the aging M2HB heavy machine gun, and as a complement to the heavier XM307 Advanced Crew Served Weapon. It is capable of being converted quickly into an XM307 with a small number of parts and a few minutes of work at the unit level (and vice versa from the XM307). Procurement of the XM312 will allow easier use of the XM307, as only the related kits would have to be adopted.

Procurement of the XM312 will allow easier use of the XM307, as only the related kits would have to be adopted. On May 20, 2008, Jane's Information Group reported that the U.S. Army had awarded General Dynamics Armament and Technical Products (GDATP) a 9 million dollar contract to develop a lightweight .50-caliber machine gun called the XM806 to supplement the Browning M2, but was cancelled in 2012. The Army at present will continue buying new M2s and Mk 19s to replenish the current guns that are wearing out.
- In Battlefield: Bad Company, the XM312 is a mounted machine gun used by the United States Army. It is usually mounted on a tripod with a ballistic shield, and appears mostly in Conquest, making only a few rare appearances in Rush, where it is usually replaced by the KORD.
