RE: MG42 - hq21 - 09-16-2008 From what I understand the Germans army currently uses the MG3 which is basically a newer version of the MG42 and looks a good deal like it. Variants of the MG3 are licensed for production in other countries. I think Iran is one of them.

The best? ![[Image: MaDeuce.jpg]](http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd40/Extraordinarius/MaDeuce.jpg) The M2HB .50 caliber machine gun. http://world.guns.ru/machine/mg04-e.htm First put into service in 1930, a contract for the manufacture of 25,000 more for the U.S. Army has just now (September, 2008) been awarded, because all efforts to design a superior replacement for the weapon have failed.

Must be in some dead ground and firing at distance (hence tri-pod) lot of effort for small cal weapon don't you think? RE: MG42 - Der Kuenstler - 09-18-2008 He's taking care of that farmer's pesky mole problem once and for all... RE: MG42 - Aegis - 09-19-2008 I bet they were in a major hurry from whatever position they were in before hand...From what I recollect from my readings, the PZGrenadiers would have a LMG - MG34 attached to the riflemen, the old tactic of using suppressive fire while moving stood strong with them, and that ain't no lie! |
