The 13.2 × 99 mm Hotchkiss Long, is a heavy machine gun cartridge developed by France during the interwar period for the Hotchkiss 13.2 mm machine gun. It saw major use as a heavy machine gun cartridge from the 1930s throughout WWII by a variety of nations due to the export success of the 13.2 mm Hotchkiss machine gun, but was eventually superseded in popularity by the 12.7 × 99 mm Browning after the war and eventually disappeared once the Browning cartridge became NATO standard.
