RE: Someone please explain this to me
It appears you're under fire from a MG 34 or 42?
Lets look on the low side of 800 RPMs and the high side of 1400RPM for the MG42.. that's equal to 13 rounds a second up to 23 rounds a second. You're in open ground, no cover, and 23 rounds coming at you in a single burst....
I don't know of any way to describe the amount of lead coming in your general direction, but if you've ever pissed off a large nest of hornets or wasps the results are similar.
Being broken doesn't mean complete routing of the unit, it describes a state of incoherent organization within your squad.
Nobody is listening to anyone else and it's every man for himself trying to find cover while cussing the idiot who ordered them out there.
In all fairness, you paid the price for the lack of respect of the MG
