FG 42 Shooting

[thatguy507100]

hi paul!!!!



[anfony22]

This is my dream gun. Some people have a dream woman or a dream car this is my dream weapon i will not leave this earth peacefully until i know that this weapon is right by my head as i lay on my death bed

[TheRealParallax]

@DrVinny654

Also, most German citizens didn't know about the Holocaust until after Germany was defeated. They thought the Jews and all the other groups of people were just being deported.

[3plictgaming]

let it loose

[DrVinny654]

this gun was issued to the paratroopers but due to tecnicle flaws and expence it didnt see a wide use over the war

[radioactivemanonfire]

does it go full auto?

yours?

[jumpnstuff]

only 7000 of these issued in ww2

[mayamanign]

Its a misconception that all Wehrmacht were raging Nazi's. Many of them were just soldiers.  But many were also raging Nazi's. ;)

[klevdud]

@mayamanign Nah man, very few Wehrmacht were raging nazis, they were just very loyal to their own country. Well yes they were nationalists but VERY few Wehrmacht soldiers were like the SS. The wehrmacht even arrested SS soldiers for cruelty against the population from the occupied countries. But Hitler secretly let them all go.

[Phoenix8492]

@klevdud From what I understand, if you were a member of the SS, that was something equivalent to Nazi nobility. The SS was not just a military organization, it was a knightly order, a revival of the Teutonic knights of the Crusades. The Wehrmacht and the SS rarely saw eye-to-eye, and it was also the SS who committed the worst atrocities of World War II, namely the Einsatzgruppen, more commonly known as the "Death's Heads."

[klevdud]

@Phoenix8492 Well the SS police, or whatever was arrested In for example, Poland by the Wehrmacht for crimes against the civil population. Atleast that's what it stood in that fat book about ww2 that I've read three times. But there were many other soldier marked with the SS that were not crazy murderers. Anyways, it's probably the Einsatzgruppen that sometimes got arrested. But like I said, they were given amnesty by hitler and set free.

[GeneralBlackNorway]

does not seem to be many who have learned from this terrible war. The Germans did bad stuff yes. They bombed England, and did genocide in Europe and Russia. Russia did some genocide (mostly raping though). England bombed Germany to total destruction, killing over a million innocents. Don't try to justify any of it. The war was terrible and it was wrong. Without moral rules this is what you get! It's not justice, its wrong. Please learn from it, don't start another war that kills more people.

[bobiscool308]

what caliber is this?

[ChernobylCorp]

@bobiscool308

Unless its rechambered, it should be 7.92x57mm.

[fmike15]

envy

[videocritic2463]

That is probly the best weapon ever i the call of duty 1 game, think of a sniper rifle with singel shot and automatic firing without any recoil on the singel and minimized on the automatic, to bad it only got 20 bullets in each clip, but hell, u could probly take down 10 guys in a row on automatic, bestest gun ever in WWII from my opinion.

[kool35196]

filming someone shooting with the camera in front of them isnt too smart

[BryanW1988]

murder on your ear drums there fella

[ThatMan0verThere]

Is that an original FG-42? Don't think there would be many left. I think there was only like 2000 prototyppes or so.

It's also funny how they get portrayed as superior weapons in WW2 games when they really weren't that good at all.

[ThePtga]

@ThatMan0verThere your saying german guns arnt good? what baout the MG42 and the mauser Kar98K and the MG34?

[ThatMan0verThere]

@ThePtga

I'm not saying German guns aren't good, I'm saying that this gun in particular is of terrible design.

Germany makes some of the best guns in the world. Many of the guns they had during WW2 were very good. The MG3 (which is based on the MG42) is still widely in use today by as many as 30 countries, including Germany.

So yeah, the Germans are geniuses when it comes to firearms, but they did screw up a few times (but everyone screws up every now and then).

[234ragdoll]

did u know tht the MG42 was nicknamed the buzzsaw because off its high rate of fire and that it can cut down a tree in about 30-40 secs

[coolcar100]

my fav WWII weapon :) Only prob is, the rate of fire is so high tht it can drain a clip in a matter of seconds. They should have made a drum or belt magazine for it instead.

[TheWaffenSS7]

this weapon is a FULLY AUTOMATIC. there is a switch on it that allows for single shots, but it's the fastest firing german weapon from ww2, or really the fastest firing weapon from ww2 all together. i love this weapon, but in order to have fun, you'd need to have about a million rounds in a belt and just run around shooting everybody that annoyed you, lol. CHAOS!

[zerocker45]

HIGH RATE OF FIRE! damn

[soldier660]

very ! very high recoil no ?

[rudiballaballa]

14 million Germans were expelled from the east.

2.5 million German civilians were killed on the escape.

German prisoners of war died in Russian concentration camps 10years after the end of war.

My grandmother, my father and his brother were taken captivated by the Russians.

They should be brought to Russia. At their escape they were shot at.

A little village in West Prussia: 21 of 23 German men were killed by polish people

This was BEFOR the German invasion .

Who cares?

[mrantihippie]

does it fire the 8mm cartridge as well?

[TheHandgunhero]

@mrantihippie Yes.

[r8wing]

FG42 was not issued to the Wehrmacht but to the Luftwaffe.

[McPhersonBassMaster]

@r8wing

Mainly just a section of the Luftwaffe, the Fallschirmjagers.

Also known as Paratroopers.

[Diogo717]

@r8wing Are the fallschirmjäger (paratroopers) part of the Luftwaffe?

[whlehrmann]

good job to everyone not talking about anything to do with the video. totally missing the point of having a comment feed.

[kiki0391]

omfg shoot fucking auto idiot

[NerfWarrior1096]

i hate how the fg-42 has got such a small magazine capacity of only 20 rounds. Plus, its high rate of fire depletes them real quickly.

[darkwatchresin]

you should always avoid shooting guns close to walls beside you, hot casings hit the wall and hit your arms (if you are wearing a T-shirt) , and I mean very hot, happen to hit me a few times, got a first degree burn once after a M16 round hit my arm

[narnianhero]

Wow, that's a pretty rare gun, very hard to find.

[FrancisDaBadAssBiker]

wow

cod 5 has no kick to it even when you fire full auto

[MrZerostr]

@FrancisDaBadAssBiker Because its a game. The M1 Garand sounds like a cap-gun but in real life, sounds like an explosion.

[kingjohnyb]

@FrancisDaBadAssBiker wow really? becuase its a video game

[FrancisDaBadAssBiker]

@kingjohnyb i just saying

you dont have to be an ass about it.

[crimsonfury99]

the fg42 has a small-ass clip

[monstertrucker1]

nice p0rn carpet lieing there forplaying on =D

[nepatriots77]

isnt that a house?

[SSTTEEAALLTTHH]

@xflamexinfernox

Are you a retard? Heckler and Koch is a German company? And what Special Service builds it's own guns?

[PzAufklaerer12Btl]

@xflamexinfernox gone crazy ? of course its a german weapon by heckler & koch.

[DeathbyPianos]

@xflamexinfernox the mp5 is a german gun you idiot it is used by the SAS GSG-9 USN SEALS and many others

[ballyballz]

germans made some of the best guns ever, be it nazis or modern germans.

MG42,FG42,STG44,MP40,G36,MP5 and UMP

i like the fg42, it's like a LMG used like a assualt rifle, with firing power of a MG but weight of an assualt rifle.

[GigaVeteran]

You know, not all Germans in the Wehrmacht or even the SS were nazis... Most of the Wehrmacht-Soldiers were just soldiers. Its often missunderstood.

[yoyor333]

@GigaVeteran YAY someone with common sense! : )

[deacon377]

@GigaVeteran

And a stain on the pride of Germany.

Being a US citizen of distinct German decent I am proud to say my ancestors fled their homes to avoid the taint of the Nazis.

[getmoney5671]

@GigaVeteran they were soldiers defending the fuhrer and even if they werent in on his plan, they still needed to be killed for the good of mankind.

[GigaVeteran]

@getmoney5671 Killed??? No.

The only thing to do was fighting the 3rd Reich....

Of course its impossible to not harm the soldiers to reach that, but killing all of them wouldn't be human and wasnt nessesary. They were fighting for what they belived was right. And for their country. You would have done the same i think. Not that you would had a choise in this time....

Sorry for my english, i hope you see what i mean.....

[getmoney5671]

@GigaVeteran yea man i understand what your saying. But their "country" at the time was ran by the third reich. It was a war and killing german soldiers was what had to be done.

[AOAWHATSUP]

@GigaVeteran I think I read somewhere that they were NOT allowed to be a member of a party as soldiers

[EpicBobSaget]

@GigaVeteran yeah a lot of the soldiers were forced into the army against their will. They never wanted to die for the facist reich.

[seshmarls]

@EpicBobSaget like Vietnam?

[EpicBobSaget]

@seshmarls it was a bit more violent, but yeah, sort of

[seshmarls]

@EpicBobSaget what was more violent Vietnam or ww2

[EpicBobSaget]

@seshmarls well the vietnam soldiers were just drafted, nazi soldiers were actually threatened.

[ZabuzaSOULESS]

@GigaVeteran

UH no, to be in the SS you were thought NAZI ideology, that was the WHOLE point of joining, besides being a secret weapon and of the such, was to understand Hitlers point of view.

[TheAkersAkers]

@GigaVeteran Yea i wish people would learn, Nazi was a political party, and the soldiers were mostley just like everyone else. But if you lose the was you get a bad name.

[DerRast1]

@GigaVeteran Adding to that statement, many high-ranking officers in the wehrmacht refused to be a part of the nazi party.

[nuf294w]

@GigaVeteran Yeah, I guess all those Polish and Russian civilians just beat themselves to death as the Wehrmacht marched innocently by.......

[TheHandgunhero]

@nuf294w That was the SS doing that, not the Wehrmacht.

[nuf294w]

@TheHandgunhero Oh yeah, of course, and no-one was really a Nazi, and no-one knew about the concentration camps, and they all really liked Jews, Romanies and the disabled................and Santa Claus is real and there are fairies at the bottom of the garden........................

[TheHandgunhero]

@nuf294w The Wehrmacht did not kill Jews. They killed Allied soldiers. They were soldiers, not criminals.

You mistake the Wehrmacht for the SS, whom are not soldiers or a member of the military, but are a Government agency, much like the CIA or KGB.

[nuf294w]

@TheHandgunhero Look, I'll have one more crack at this. You really shoud take the trouble to research your position before making these definitive statements. Get hold of a copy of 'Hitler's Willing Executioners' by Prof. Daniel Goldhagen and read it. If this is too taxing at least read the more general but more easily accessible Wilkpedia article 'War crimes of the Wehrmacht, and the for the doings of the Wehrmacht in Poland read the opening chapters of 'The Boys' by Martin Gilbert. G-d bless.

[TheHandgunhero]

@nuf294w You've got a point. Not everyone in the Wehrmacht would be a saint. But that does not reflect it on the whole.

[m4rkm4n]

@nuf294w

History is written by...

Yeah you get it.

When you're at it, you can also read about the crimes of Stalin, who murdered tens of millions of his own civilians for his "cleansings". Or the millions of German women who got raped by red army bastards as they invaded Germany. In the Wehrmacht, rape was even punished with prison.

I'm proud to be German and will never forgive the Russians for their rapes and taking east Prussia and British for their bombings of cities filled with civilians.

[judgejamie]

@m4rkm4n in the wehrmacht rape was punished by death if found guilty kamerad i believe? plus after the war almost 1 million un-armed german soldats and civilians were starved or died as a result from exposure or disease in american and french so called 'pow' camps. but you don't hear of that either.

[xshadowecox]

@m4rkm4n So you're mad at a WHOLE nation because of the acts of some soldiers....which happened more than 70 years ago? No offense, I see your point and all, but I don't think that you should be mad at the nation of Russia, considering the time period. I think raping is wrong, but:

1.) Russia didn't rape German women, teenage to middle-aged soldiers did.

2.) These soldiers were most likely mad at the actions of the German forces and sadly were returning the favor as you may say it.

[loomba300]

@m4rkm4n Sure, i agree with ya, but the germans also bombed cities filled with civilians and did other cruel shit.

[Sturm119]

@loomba300 So did we...

[Bronzewhaler82]

@m4rkm4n It is well known Stalin committed genocide. German women raped by the Red Army? This was wrong but was done in retaliation for the treatment of Russian women at the hands of German soldiers. As for the British bombings; totally justified.

The Luftwaffe bombed Britain first.

[m4rkm4n]

@Bronzewhaler82

Nothing is justified. The Germans bombed London, and just London. The RAF then bombed the shit out of every German city and village they could find. There are documentaries that show how the British tried to justify bombing even little villages, they said there were rails going through and rails always mean transportation of war machinery so that village had to be erased. Just an example. Other towns were bombed just because they burnt so well, as the roofs were made of wood.

[Bronzewhaler82]

@m4rkm4n If bombing our enemy into submission is the worst Britain can be accused of I will sleep well at night. At least my country wasn't responsible for murdering millions of innocent people including women and children in cold blood.

[havocmil]

@Bronzewhaler82 oh,, nice comment, my country wasnt responsible for killing women, children and murdering millions of innocent people ?? no German will respond to that, cause its a taboo topic, yes they caused the holocaust, and i hope never to see it again in my life time, ethnic cleansing, genocide, still happen but not on the mechanical scale of the nazi's BUT did we (the allies) try to stop it, NO!!, do you know why we didnt stop it ?? we could have bombed the camps but we didnt

[havocmil]

@havocmil in the end there is no right or wrong during a war, hindsight is a wonderful thing....only the victors write the history books afterwards. Bomber Harris was he a murderer or a commander in time of war, ref. Dresden, the war was over for the nazi's, so why bomb Dresden, revenge, kill another 40,000 women children, babies, they are also innocent, just cause they are german doesnt make them nazi's .....babies arent nazi's, revenge sometimes can be classed as murder even in war

[sjcommander91]

@havocmil Bombing the camps? Killing all those innocents inside? Yeah, there's a great idea. I wonder why any of the Allied leaders think of it? /sarcasm

Seriously, there is no reason why they would've bombed the camps. First, they couldn't know how many innocents were in there, in a single raid they could kill as much as 155.000 innocents (155.000 people was the maximum number of prisoners Auschwitz could handle). Second, the Germans would just rebuild them elsewhere with better AA defenses.

[sjcommander91]

@sjcommander91 Proofreading fail. Obviously the "I wonder why any of the Allied leaders think of it?" bit was meant to have "didn't" between "leaders" and "think".

[Bronzewhaler82]

@m4rkm4n and there is no 'Just' in bombing the capital city of England! The German's no more 'just' bombed London than we 'just' bombed Berlin

[m4rkm4n]

@Bronzewhaler82

Umm already forgot that you bombed whole Germany and not only Berlin?

[Bronzewhaler82]

@m4rkm4n No, I didn't forget. My point was that using the word 'just' when talking about bombing which killed 40,000 civilians and destroyed over one million homes is wrong.

[Bronzewhaler82]

@m4rkm4n Also the Nazis didn't bomb London alone, they also attacked Aberdeen, Barrow-in-Furness, Belfast, Bootle, Birkenhead, Wallasey, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Clydebank, Coventry, Exeter, Glasgow, Greenock, Sheffield, Swansea, Liverpool, Kingston upon Hull, Manchester, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Nottingham, Brighton, Eastbourne, Sunderland, and Southampton

[DerpForce]

@fallschirmjager0000 Operation Sealion was not possible after the failed blitz of Britain. if you knew your "history", you would know that the luftwaffe couldn't even sink any ships because of their useless armaments.

I'm willing to bet you're a raging closet-fascist, with a name like "fallschirmjager0000", but you just pretend to "only be interested in the history" but whatever. the point still stands that the Luftwaffe were useless, and the Kriegsmarine could not possibly launch an invasion

[Dresden1065]

@GigaVeteran That's true of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS (a branch of the Wehrmacht). However the domestic non military SS with all its branches and led by Heinrich Himmler were all Nazis. That is certaintly not "misunderstood".

[BigMek456]

@Dresden1065 No, thats not true. My great-great uncle was forcibly recruited in 1945 to the Waffen-SS but he was no nazi. He hated war, because he lost his son in WW1.

[Dresden1065]

@BigMek456 You should've actually read what I said. I said the DOMESTIC SS were all Nazis (Totenkopf, Gestapo, Liebstandarte Adolf Hitler). It was part of their very job description to be baptized in Nazi ideology.

[BigMek456]

@Dresden1065 I you mean them - ok. I think I misunderstood you. Sorry!

[TheWaffenSS7]

@GigaVeteran well, exactly,i wouldn't say misunderstood, i'd say majority were blinded by believing they were defending their country and heritage. most ss soldiers were very young. why? because they had to be very athletic. the officers of the ss were trained to hate atthe main school in bad tolz. once they got out, they would command their units and feed the hate to the youngsters. there were about 20 million soldiers in the combined german forces. there weren't 20 million members of the party

[7thSonOfHolyDiver]

@GigaVeteran Wehrmacht was the army of Germany and soldiers were fighting for their vaterland, but SS-men were nazists, because SS was political organisation.

[SEANM4444]

@GigaVeteran exactly people think that if u r a nazi u r bad, RONG

[CPGKILLS]

@GigaVeteran Its good to hear someone else say that! people always get the wrong idea. ..many germans were also forced to fight.

[whopper1209]

@GigaVeteran Most of them didn't even want to fight, and some of them didn't even came from germany.

[TheVeneth]

@GigaVeteran  stop spamming here with your stupid comments

[GigaVeteran]

@TheVeneth Very stupid.......

[TheVeneth]

@GigaVeteran This video is about weapons and no politics.. So please go with your holocaust looney stories somewhere..

[GigaVeteran]

@TheVeneth Listen, I was just answering a "political" comment, cause i cant here this s*** anymore. And I'm right. But I will leave this now. Its a senseless flaming of yours.

[Bronzewhaler82]

@GigaVeteran If a man put on an SS uniform he was a Nazi.

[BeardedHoplite]

@Bronzewhaler82

After 1943 some SS men were drafted, so not all were volunteers

[ThatGuyBen99]

@GigaVeteran exactly!!! my friend says all german soldiers, leaders, officers, etc. were nazis, and that all of them were "evil".

[DrVinny654]

@GigaVeteran yo fuck that they joined the nazi army and it was there choise weather to fight for hitler and support his plans or not so they were all nazis

[TheRealParallax]

@DrVinny654

Ever heard of something called a draft? Not all of them chose. Towards the end of the war, the German government had the elderly and the underage pressed into service.

[DrVinny654]

@TheRealParallax they could have ran

[TheRealParallax]

@DrVinny654

To where, I ask. Certainly not their homes, that's the first place they would look. East? That's a battleground. West? That's a battleground. South? That's a battleground. North? Guess what, that was a battleground. Guess that's why its called a world war. If they were caught, they would be executed or put into a death camp. Running was as good of an option for them as suicide.

[DrVinny654]

@TheRealParallax then surrender not everyone was shot or put in camps

[thorthesk8erboii]

@guitarking42 agreed

[guitarking42]

when you look at an FG-42, to me it looks russian. not german.

[agnostosxxxx]

fg42 was made to be a portable machine gun.They needed a weapon with the firepower of a machinegun but with portabilty of a rifle and they made this.Only a few number was produced,and it was intended only for paratroopers.One can spot similiarities with the later ak47.

[nle4lyfe]

the design the germans came up with that paved way for the modern AK47 & M16's ended up being the STG44

which is the first ASSAULT RIFLE, the STG44 hitler did not even know his soldiers were issued it, but later found out too late to help the war

FG42's became too expensive to make, and took too long to make, so they eventually started issueing the soldiers MG42's instead, since they were easy to carry, cheap and quick to make, and in a 2 man team... they could be shoulder fired as well

[TheLastMag]

@agnostosxxxx Lolz. Everything you stated was true except it has nothing in common with the AK. You are thinking of the Stg 44 Sturmgewehr. Which Kalashnikov admitted copying off of. The Fg42 eventually turned into the American M-60.

[Sigmarthetruthfull]

Its a machine rifle understando? not a SMG or anything of that such it shoots rifle rounds like from the Mauser mmkay?

[steamplayer716]

probably why some were mounted with scopes

[Sigmarthetruthfull]

Yes sir.

[Czecherboarded]

84,848th view!

Awesome gun.

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

chure its not a submachinegun

it fires rifle bulets

not handgunbulets

[InfantryChans91]

True it isn't a SMG, however there are some that do fire rifle rounds. Although really some people like to call them a 'compact assault rifle' as opposed to a submachinegun

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

there are submachineguns that fire bullets that looks like litle riflerounds

if they do it is most likeley a pdw(personal defence weapon)

these guns are used for close quarters but have more range and stopping power

examples:p90 and mp7a1

if they fire like 5.56mm nato its always an asault rifle

this gun fires no asault rifle bullets but ful rifle bullets

the fg42 is a light machinegun

however you woud almost say its some sort of batlerifle because it was used like a sniper,machinegun,..

[InfantryChans91]

H&K 53 is classed an smg however fires a full size rifle round, H&K class it as a Submachinegun however in reality its more of a Compact Rifle. Seems silly to me but most likely its in order to sell it better

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

i dont find a site that says it is a submachinegun

they always call it an asault rifle

witch site is it?

[InfantryChans91]

I think it was one of H&Ks publications and one of their sales campaigns

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

then i think they changed that

anyhow i dont find it

[InfantryChans91]

Maybe, I'll have to hunt down the 'Janes book of Guns' at some point. Still; FG42 still seems pretty awsome especially for the era that it was made.

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

they say the armys even used this guns ideas for making other guns

i wonder what woud hapen if you maked a 50bmg version of this gun

(whit a good muzlebrake)

that woud be a heavy machinegun in lightweight:)

[InfantryChans91]

to be honest i wouldnt be surprised, it was pretty new so was bound to be copis of the MG42 in the M60, and the AR15 bolt in our L85s. I expect the result would leave a lot to be desired, heavy and cumbersome, not to mention the weight of all the extra ammo needed. Woul be interesting though even if only for the comic value of standing up firing auto

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

exualy germany made some weapons back then

stg44/mp44,fg42,mg42,...

the firs is even the basis of what is become the most notorious gun in the world:ak47

[InfantryChans91]

and Reference FG42, i suppose you could class it as a Light Support Weapon then, intended to put down fire and be used as a marksman's weapon? bit like the L86 (hardly a fair comparison due to the period)

[dontmakemeMAD1990]

the l86 isnt clased like a batle rifle because it doesnt use the ful batle rifle rounds it uses the standard 5.56mm nato not the 7.62mm nato that is for batle rifles,snipers and lmg

[darkfang77]

@yoshyftwXD

Well unfortunately this is isn't COD..

[Searyu]

thats a pretty freaking narrow shooting range, lolz the shell bounces off the wall and pelts him almost every single time

[chase1bf]

Look at the kick back on that beast. I LOVE the FG42!

[walter0bz]

suggestion for sporting/enthusiast rifle manufacturers - make a copy of this design with plastic furniture, modern materials and RIS rails.

and demonstrate ability to fire duplex rounds such that 2rd burst == 4 rd burst of smaller calibre rifle.

and place offset foregrip for balance.

with cult following, must be worth someone's money, surely :)

[Zinkyness]

Very strange sound quality. I'd consider moving the camera to a better spot next time. Honestly the whole video sounded pretty craptastic

[Pearlharbor350]

i wanna get one of them

[elryanoo]

Nice gun. Hate indoor ranges though.

[AllHailShemp]

Wow, I love this gun, but even when firing it prone it still dances all over the place.

[Pimpzilla300]

One question, does having the magazine on the side or top of the weapon make it more or less reliable than on the bottom?

[texanol75]

a clip is used in a m1 garand and keeps the rounds together. A magazine is way different than a clip

[zombidad4life]

it is a CLIP is what this gun uses!

[LieutenantScout]

No it's not. It uses a magazine.

[LieutenantScout]

No it's not. It uses a magazine. Not a clip. It even shows the magazine in the video!

Are you blind??

[adam648374692865]

same thing with the MG42 right? it uses magazines

[LieutenantScout]

The MG-42 is beltfed with 7.92kurz ammunition. Later models used a steel drum magazine.

[adam648374692865]

oh..i didn't know it used 7.92kurz ammo. i always thought it used the stell drum

[LieutenantScout]

Sorry. I got that wrong. It used 7.92 Mauser not kurz.

Yeah the MG-42 was not ment to be carried around alot. It was for vehicles and a team of people. then they made it lighter to use as a 2 man team,so they made a magazine for it.

[rnrbishop]

The MG42 was a belt fed GPMG, they made a snail mag that held a short section of belt for assault purposes.

The FG42 shares NOTHING with the MG42.

[LieutenantScout]

Exactly.

[Daniel4646]

Sorry to correct, it didn't use the Kurz. The Luftwaffe command was too stubborn to adopt something the Heer (Army) was using. The FG42 was a development away from standard infantry weapons.

[gowisdabomba]

Or a belt.

[GasmaskGorbachev]

haha get some 20 rounders son. not enough bang bang with that 10-10

[anonymouskid14]

i can see the bullet

[Ialocin85]

what you see is flames from the barrel!

[yuming97]

what the fuck are you talking about....?

[ckeanup123]

needs more ammo to be a great gun but i do like it`s fire rate overall it`s very reliable and a good gun

[littlewhitey90]

because he stops half the time so thats why you dont like its fire rate

[ckeanup123]

um read my comment again i said "i do like it`s fire rate overall"

[RedEliteFilms]

one of my favorite german weapons. it is powerful and has a considerable range. decent clip size. and can be used as a mounted machine gun.

[LieutenantScout]

The FG-42 doesn't use clips...

[RedEliteFilms]

uh, ya it does? as seen in this film clip and in videogames with realism in mind.

[LieutenantScout]

No it doesn't. It uses magazines. Not clips.

[RedEliteFilms]

same difference.

[LieutenantScout]

WHATTT??? Clips and magazines have a HUGE difference. I hate people who get those mixed up :D

[RedEliteFilms]

um......k.....

[killaklan94]

the fg 42 is a pretty powerful gun

[ARomanianKid14]

how many rounds is he firing in that burst i cant really tell. one thing i noticed is that the clip is rather small, most clips on the fg42 that i have seen are... larger. this looks like it holds about 10 rounds or so. sry if i am incorrect

That magazine held more than 10 rounds, it's double-stack much like most modern rifle magazines - it just looks fairly short.

Is this considered a Assault Rifle or Light MAchine Gun?
