MG42

[Kelen]

There's a secondary "remote trigger" on the end of the wooden stock that this guy is tweaking, I daresay under fire he could lay safely prone behind cover with just his arm sticking up to tweak it, or even tie a string to it and get further away before pulling it..

It's possible that there were more than one configuration, but I'd always thought that the secondary trigger was part of the tripod set-up rather than attached to the stock, as per here.
