MG-42 full auto

[supernovalogic]

this gunn sux on zombizz itz sooo gheyy

[uwmil13]

that things deadly

[delzottoj]

holy crap, did that think cook off 2 extra rounds on the last burst??

[crocop195]

great gun and with a bullet tank on the side you dont need two guys,but i did notice a slip fire on the end there

[MrREON0413]

下に薬莢が飛んでるのか(`◉◞౪◟◉)

[SNAlPER]

ahtyng

[DZgoodTimes]

Shame they dont use this gun now

[Charly1989]

@DZgoodTimes they actually do. There were only some things to be done better. Nowadays it's called MG-3 and is in use by the Bundeswehr

[DZgoodTimes]

@Charly1989 Yes but is fires a tiny 7.62 x 51mm. I want a mauser round!

[Charly1989]

@DZgoodTimes you want more boom, I see ;) Can't disagree with you there. NATO caliber sucks.If you shoot and hit something you should be able to expect the target dead and not wounded.

[BigMek456]

@DZgoodTimes German Army and a lot of european armies use this gun in a modded version even today.

[moptim]

@DZgoodTimes Yes they do, as MG3. As do many other armies. It's practically the same gun, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. I'd rather take it than MG42 cos I think 7.62x51 gotta be more plentiful and cheaper than the 8x57mm IS ammo the MG42 eats. As it's a military standard, shouldn't it be possible to obtain some cheap surplus 7.62x51 FMJ rounds?

[TheHappyRagequitter]

@moptim yeah thats true, u can but 7.62x51 nato very cheap, guess only the 7.62x52r are a cheaper rifle bullet in same size

[realHitomo]

@DZgoodTimes

hm? ... we just do ... only differnce is the titanium spring is replaced from the WW2 version of the MG, so it fires around 20shoots a second and not 45 a second anymore

[TheHappyRagequitter]

@DZgoodTimes

they do in some countries still, i think pakistan armed forces use it as their main GPMG

[DZgoodTimes]

@TheHappyRagequitter But it doesnt fire a mauser round... nato round = lame

[TheHappyRagequitter]

@DZgoodTimes idd

[souljadicktellem]

@DZgoodTimes They actually use a variant called the MG3, which is pretty much the same.

[DJonX7]

@DZgoodTimes they do, a modernized technically modernized version. still looks the same, but without wood stock and nato ammo.

[SPSguy836]

Man, I can see why they need two people, it's a great gun btw too bad I can't get one

[TunguskaProductions]

that gun fucks you up

[TheGorgeramirez]

@TunguskaProductions YEA if you get shot by it

[RandyU1]

If u notice closely right at the very end the last time he shoots (its in slow mo) the last two shots were runaways

[007spartacus]

ITS FUCKING SHIT BRAH

[DeviantFormula]

*Drools* How much does a fully assembled 42 cost these days?

Also, if you wanna blow some money, record a video of shooting nonstop, heating that barrel red-hot!!! Melt it, lol!

Very nice video

[soberek]

M56 Smart Gun @work. Can't get any cooler than that.

[natchaiev]

hearing the shots in slow motion, to be felt in 1942 at Omaha Beach to face this terrible demon mg42.

[jackster11997]

@natchaiev 1944*

[hunharcosify]

MG42 nagyon jó még mindig a tűz gyorsasága! :)

[pxdfover]

Its easier to fire if you have a sandbag or two right behind the bipod (:

[AGAonLIVE]

@rsilvers haha you must have rebuilt this and failed 1:37 it runs away, meaning it continued to fire after trigger was released.

[ScubaShneve]

I can has iten?

[rexsa66]

the slow motion produced me an erection is that wierd?

[QuickScopeLG]

1:21... thats not good.. Your finger was off the trigger and it kept firing. Watch out for that.

[SCream90]

@QuickScopeLG cause the gun is going verry hot....in ww2 german soldiers fired the gun up to 1900rpm and couldnt stop to fire till they cut the ammo off cause this gun is going verry hot...

sorry for my bad english guys :/

greez from germany

[QuickScopeLG]

@SCream90 Your English is fine, and thank you I did not know that.. But you know... If your finger is off the trigger and it still fires, that's not good. But i understand now : )

[Tual2]

the 42 is 1200 rpm right?

[ghilliesniper15]

@Tual2 it is anywhere from 1000 to 1600

[Xiia0Sn00pY]

@ghilliesniper15 geez! thats alot of rpm! gotta pity those buggers at the end of that 42's barrel

[DaBlindKungFuMastuh]

you can buy one of these full auto in most states....there about 50 - 80 thousand bucks but you can

[tarty1ms]

@DaBlindKungFuMastuh one sold last fall at Bud Haynes auction in Red Deer Alberta Canada for,,,$1700.00 cause they can no longer be shot in Canada,, destined to be welded solid!! Thanks to the LIBERAL thinkers out there,, a piece of history made into a paperweight!

[DaBlindKungFuMastuh]

@tarty1ms with obama we are on the same path to taking our gun rights

[BkDbBasscrew]

made in Germany !!! bääm

[InfidelOpsSniper]

Zombies are now having second thoughts after watching this video.

[1320swashington]

H O L Y S H I T !!!!

[GUNDAMZGOK]

zombies must thinks again..

[XIXTHRAHSER69]

hah...had my volume up all the way...OWWWEEE!!!! lol xD

[LPtheDESTROYER]

Wooooo Hooooo!! Thats badass!! Cant do that in New Zealand......

[Nopityforacoward08]

The Germans were masters of engineering. Still to this day the MG-42 out classes a great deal of weapons. That just goes to show, how ahead of the time they were. Beautiful weapon.

[Strixlord]

@Nopityforacoward08 Yep. It's definitely beautiful until you face it in war and find yourself full of bullets...

[Nopityforacoward08]

@Strixlord Of course, but I am not speaking from that point of view. But you do have a valid point, I do believe that all sides that faced this weapon, quickly learned to respect it's power.

[Strixlord]

@Nopityforacoward08 ...And fear it.

[Nopityforacoward08]

@Strixlord Yes, that is also true. Much like the Tiger tank, respected and feared.

[Spitzenhund]

@Nopityforacoward08 Its a good weapon but if you want to talk about a weapon that stood the test of time try the M2 Browning made in 1918 and its still used today

[jpkm123]

@Spitzenhund is there much diffference between an mg 42 and an MG3? they still share many parts I believe

[AVPancientPredator]

This thing is like one of these Starwars Stardestroyers 00:39 gun, gun, gun, gun .... gun.

[chanhine]

i want a unicorn shooter

[gogglom]

Ich würde erstmal richtig schießen lernen mit unserem guten MG befor ich hier ein Viedeo einstelle.

First I would go and learn How to shot oure gooood German MG bevor posting that Video.

Quess you never served ha.

[Alex201988]

@gogglom typisch amerikaner denken sie wären die Könige der Welt. Der Lappen wird doch mit seinen 70 kg nach hinten geschleudert xD

[DerArzt90]

@Alex201988 der kommt mit so nem monster von MG nicht klar xD

[BkDbBasscrew]

@DerArzt90 genau so siehts aus ^^

[fodangolandia]

no soom bad

[jcgax70]

...Chuck Norris wants his BB-gun back

[rockandrollallnight4]

@jcgax70 Chuck norris is not that cool. Stop with the comments.

[jaeki1234]

why do u have a MG42 at home?

[wormlotion]

Grandpa almost recoils himself out of the frame :D

[GriffGruff78]

Is the MG42 a closed-bolt design?

[ollo1982]

@GriffGruff78 The MG 42 is roller-locked and recoil-operated (short recoil) with gas assist. It fires belt fed 7.92mm ammunition from an open bolt.

[14hame]

lol the guy with the cap. Stand your ground man! Dont let the recoil push you away haha!

[timisaboss]

They just learned why the Germans used mounts for theirs

[chestnuts42]

pussy using a sweatshirt for padding. iv shot one of these full auto with a 100 round belt without one pussy

[pvtcowboyFMJ]

total flinch 1:16

[MrKeKeKe92]

MG42 í mót famous machine gun over ww2

[billplatinum6]

MG 42.......Genius, what else is new.......its German

[Xiolablu3]

Rate of fire (1200-1500rpm) is just too fast for real world infantry lmg stuff. Notice that todays lmgs fire at around 750-800rpm. And the worlds most popular lmg by far is the FN MAG (belgium) which is 650-900 rpm. Still a fascinating gun though!

[Zdutchman123]

@Xiolablu3 wrong, it is not "too fast" because if it was, why would they make the MG-3? do your homework before commenting.

[bellsouth70]

WIMPS IN EVERY SHOOTING VID THEY SAY FULL AUTO BUT ALL THEY DO IS BURST I WANT TO SEE A BELT ON THE GROUND WITHIN 7 SECONDS seriously tho

[witchdctr]

I am lucky enough to own the mg-42. and a blast she is. over any weapon i own this firearm is in MY OPINION ONLY. better than the M-60 echo-4. much heavyer but a real recking ball. even though the porche is an over engineered piece of crap.this weapon is one of the germans greatest inventions for sure. fun to put rounds down range.

[halomandrummer]

+1 on the slo-mo shots

[Rubenskiq]

i gotta sneeze but i cant! HELP ME§!

[moptim]

Whoa, 8x57 ammo gotta be expensive? Wouldn't it be cheaper to fire MG3 which uses nowadays' standard NATO rifle ammunition (which I suppose to be plentiful), or is it impossible to obtain such a gun? Dunno, I have no personal experience with guns, let alone the American gun laws.

[gruntpwnsnubz]

My dream gun

[MrStoney1337]

@Sasquatch279 its still the fastest MG in the world :)

[GenMinion]

loved the slowmo

[toughserb145]

Needs red dot sight and grip. Also, I need it for a zombie game please.

[cplkeller1]

Damn, his shoulder o.O

[MsRosette713]

these bullet shells are wine bottles

[kennethwyh]

i'll trade my gf for this, i swear

[skintrade]

how come they never used these in the german bombers for defence?

[Ghosteye101]

@skintrade

I know that they mainly used the MG34 but I'm also unaware of the fact that made them do so...

maybe not easy enough to maintain or so...

please let me know if you find out...

[aerhkkgn]

@skintrade

I think it's because of the barrel change mechanism, the barrel have to be removed from the side (watch others videos or wiki), at least I'm sure they didn't used the mg42 in wheeled vehicles because of that so it was probably the same problem for planes. The main German mgs for planes were the mg 15 and the mg 131.

[asianpwnyourbigass]

is that yours?

[spencynut]

I wish folks who make these MG videos were not afraid to fire the gun as it was meant to shoot. Two, three and five round bursts are boring. I want to see a 200 round sustained fire video. What are they scared of? If you have a Machine gun, then fire the darn thing!!!

[Snowghost905]

@spencynut But i think it's not only because the people can't shoot them at the 200 round full automatic, but i think it's because most of the MG42's are very old and wouldn't be able to handle 200 round fully automatic...but that was a very good suggestion because i haven't seen anyone fire it fully automatic with 200 rounds (:

[TaZ101SAGA]

@Snowghost905 Type 'MG42 300 tracers' into the search and you'll get your video!

[TaZ101SAGA]

@spencynut Yeah, 200 rounds of sustained fire and putting unnecessary wear on a $40,000 gun, great idea huh...

[SporadicallySane]

@TaZ101SAGA $40,000? Are you sure it's a pre-86? Honestly most of the 42's on the market are dealer samples.

[ChipTheClown]

not full auto

[TaZ101SAGA]

@ChipTheClown What do you mean 'not full auto', it's full auto dude, I can assure you.

[brycom1]

Noticed that the gun was still firing after you let go of the trigger at about the 1:37 mark.!!!!! Yikes!!

[FenderJoshBass]

fuck growing up. gimme my mg already!

[billplatinum6]

What a great weapon......no wonder the Americans copied it

[littlefisherman01]

i shoot you you shoot me...

[Roku1973]

Meine HAUSORDNUNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skurtov]

Yeah! 7.62 fury!

[zadupiarz]

@skurtov fuck, troll, its 7,92x57

[bimse111]

@zadupiarz erhmm no its not.. its 7.62mm... 1200 rounds pr minute and weighs 12kg. I used to be a gunner with this in the danish army...

[Morbius0012]

@bimse111

7.92mm*

[bimse111]

@Morbius0012 Omg... you are right.... I just found a website with the info. Why the hell did our MG's use standard 7.62mm then? Modified somehow maybe?

[zadupiarz]

@bimse111 MG42 is 7,92x57mm mauser german machinegun, theoretical firerate is 1500 rounds per minute. the 7,62x51mm is fake MG3 version with 1100 rounds per minute firerate. its MG42 version because the flask is wooden. sorry for bad english

[bimse111]

@zadupiarz No problem :) Thank you very much for info! :)

[68blitzen]

Typical ATF agents, way to represent, we confiscate guns, play with them then sell them to foreign countries. Yay government!

[HeinDuckdich1]

So it looks like when amateures fyring a mg! Hope your shoulder is blue after fyring. OMG

[vasco65ful]

im used :))

[NBlovr4everPhillips]

Cool gun. Me like!!!

[stonedsnakestudios]

damn, dat recoil

[djjoni2]

@stonedsnakestudios Lafette 42 tripod to the RESCUE!

[jordanhieber1]

Thumbs up if you watched this because u play cod

[prvngal65]

@jordanhieber1 Ew....

[Darkbruenor]

really an amazing weapon

[johnnywixwill]

well it didn't actually cost 400,000 $ to fire this weapon, for 12 seconds, but that would be cool xD

[Rocco752]

Dear Santa...

[miro1985]

He hold the MG43/MG3 the wrong way. He has to push his shoulder more into the gun so the bipod is at an ankle of 45° towards the target. Then the recoil is quite easy to handle. But if you hold the gun like in that video the recoil WILL srew your shoulder. Actually the MG43/MG3 can be pretty accurate when handled properly.

[MaximKretsch]

@miro1985

Schliße mich - nach ein paar tausend Schuss Erfahrung mit dem Ding - an. :-)

[sfinx187]

Those guys do not know how to hold and handle a machine gun with a bipod.

[MidgardTorches]

When you fire a MG 42 you have to lay into the bipod. It´s very stable and made for it.

Then the recoil is not so hard. We use this machine gun in our Bundeswehr until today in 308 Win, known as MG 3 ...

[gettincrazywithit]

LOL @ 1:18 NEWB

[Nebelwerfer89]

0:46 for the shooting

[enueck]

those noobs need to learn how to shoot the mg 42... you have to pull your shoulder into the gun and then recoil won't be that bad...

[gettincrazywithit]

@enueck this isnt cod...xD

[Joseph7033]

Hello. :)

[puertorican12344]

I would make passionate love to that gun for hours.....or until I ran out of ammo

[trollkaren1]

Chuk norris Can dual weild these while walking 2miles , shooting targets on the way...

[HondoMcRaven]

Yeah dude, keep shooting in short bursts when human waves of soviet soldiers are coming for you... 1 man at the gun, 1 man holding the belt and then BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTBRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTBRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT

[KeyboardWarrior404]

@HondoMcRaven lol idk if this is sarcastic but,that WAS the proper technique for firing the Maschinengewehr 34 and 42,cuz since the rate of fire was soo high,the bullets would get jammed if a person didnt feed them through and you absolutely HAD to fir in short burst or else the barrel would melt.

[gettincrazywithit]

@KeyboardWarrior404 Nope their are stories of 17 year old kids from the wehrmacht in 44-45' on the Don front firing full auto for over an hour...only stopping to switch barrels and put ammo in....Im pretty sure on Omaha beach as well.

[KeyboardWarrior404]

@gettincrazywithit maybe true,but still,i dont believe anything i read and only half of what i see.cheers mate

[AlemanMx]

@gettincrazywithit however, the barrel would melt to the shroud, nevermind sacrificing accuracy, but didnt matter at 1,200 Rpm.

[madman2010i]

thts y it was nicknamed hitlers buzz saw

[kickthedonky]

that would be pritty funny to get a video of the neighnours and what they have to say about his hobby :D

[getsomelead]

1:37 it is still fucking shooting after he takes his finger off the trigger.

[MetallicaSlipknotRok]

0:32 Hello.

[TheBrowser259]

FPSRussia will show this little beech how to fire that weapon!

[kuratomi9091]

holy fuck recoil, and they used to fire this full auto until bullets ran out before....damn poor german shoulders.

[SeanHatley]

@kuratomi9091 Shit, they had to change the barrels after the first maybe 300 rounds, Im not really sure on how the barrel rating before you have to change out the barrel on the MG-42. All I know is that there is a reason why it was nicknamed "Hitler's Buzzsaw".

It was also the M56 smart gun from Aliens. Had to give a shout out to that.

[kuratomi9091]

@SeanHatley ;)

[theHypercat]

@kuratomi9091

The bipod wasn't mounted here, FAIL

[kuratomi9091]

@theHypercat it did act as a support...?

[theHypercat]

@kuratomi9091 Yes, of course it gave support for the weight of the gun, but it didn't semm to take recoil off.

[Lblackwolf11]

@kuratomi9091 i agree



[DeathFeast16]

@kuratomi9091

noooooo, in germany, our shoulders are made of krupp-steel you know :)

[kuratomi9091]

@DeathFeast16 seems like so :P

[thekapow]

@kuratomi9091 i served with that rifle, and you kinda get used to it..

[kuratomi9091]

@thekapow not a rifle but okay :)

[bluehoarse]

@kuratomi9091 movies dont exactly express that it was often the largest and more heavy set guys that were in control of these...

[kuratomi9091]

@bluehoarse BUT BUT HISTORY CHANNEL AND ITS DOCUMENTALS D:

[weerd2normal]

@kuratomi9091 True, but this things was used greatly on a tripod that would absorb shock too.

[kuratomi9091]

@weerd2normal ;)

[darkhound891]

@kuratomi9091 you do know they had tripods that absorbed most of the recoil back then right?

[videosearchmen]

@kuratomi9091 poor soldiers who got a bullet in there shoulder shot by the germans

[merl0c]

@kuratomi9091 I think the limit was 200-300 rounds in a single burst, as firing more than that would overheat the barrel. Considering the fire rate of this gun is around 1200 rounds per minute, twice as high as the US Browning, that's around 10 seconds. It COULD go full auto for longer periods of time, but it would damage the gun itself and too much cost for ammunition. However, the high rate of fire would just "carve" through its firing arc + its firing sound made it named Hitler's buzzaw.

[SODEMO2007]

@kuratomi9091 When a regiment of bloodthirsty Red Army soldiers is storming your trench I think your shoulder is a low priority.

[kuratomi9091]

@SODEMO2007 ;)

[XxT4PxxOUTxX]

@kuratomi9091 i feel worse for the people on the other side of the gun

[Colton5]

@XxT4PxxOUTxX they're in a better place now

[MultiGunner21]

@kuratomi9091 ya but at 1700 rounds a minute there has got to be alot of recoil haha

[kronks4]

do you know where i can buy a ww2 mg-42? because i know there out there.

[baronww1]

@kronks4 you need to look because they are hard to find and some sell for well over 100,000 bucks

[asddsdsssd]

i hate that it killed american troops in WWII but i still love it

The last bit - you can hear all the beer bottles falling over!
