[tusepagliacco]

I love that gun!

[AlchemistHawk]

"did i hit it?!" "who the fuck cares!?"

[tougaard11]

★★★★★

[zaktanowns123]

Fuck zombies.

[dasSofa]

its an mg3, sounds like lower firerate as the mg42

[AKxALLxDAYx]

Yes and they just made the MG-4 for the desert conditions.

[varocks183]

That is an Mg-3 Updated 7.62 variant, You can tell because you can hear the rounds while cycling Mg-42, Heck no, All you'd hear is a Buzz type noise from the Huge RPM of it

[Rammstein8814]

MG 42 kopie aus jugoslawien , genannt MG-53 aber mit geringerer Feuerrate.

[Squidgy95]

ah dude that will ruin your day!

[gunforsale]

@Squidgy95 unless your part of the gun crew

than it would make ur day :3

[MusicMyLife2112]

LOL, it was nicknamed "Hitlers Buzzsaw" for the sound it produces.

[eselpopo]

Hitlersäge, please!

[derandi903]

mg 34 , nicht 42 .

42 hat ne höhere feuerrate

[himmler251]

nein ist mg3 modern bunseswehr issue or yugoslavian mg53

[derandi903]

jedenfalls kein 42iger

[himmler251]

nein mg3 it has a slower fire rate than a mg42

[Luflandebrigade31]

@derandi903

MG 34 ist ne ganz andere Waffe, schreib mal keinen Unsinn! Musst doch nur mal wikipedia checken...

[Bienert23]

trotzdem ist ein mg 42 , mg 34 hat nen runden lauf und keinen fast eckigen

[dannyboy1SG]

might be a bit slower than the nor but still fuck charging at a bunker with one of them bad boys lol

[Andrewsarchus77]

Wo ein deutsches Maschinengewehr spricht da schweigen alle anderen Waffen .

[brawleragent]

it doesn't sound like an mg42

[liberalbiberal]

That ROF seemed pretty low for a Mg42/3

[peuhkis]

This isnt the original, has way too slow firing rate to be mg-42. Maby mg-3?

[Sicklehead88]

it would even be too slow for an mg3....the mg3 fires 1200 rpm (mg42 ca. 1600 rpm)...rof sounds too low for that

[jonesy97]

The tripod looks like the original. Really nice piece!

[himmler251]

thats a mg3 the modern 7.62 mg42 or the post war yugoslavian m52/57

[MacJenius]

i love this gun

[DrRevan]

Best 5 seconds of my life! If only it weren't so short-lived...ahhh, freedom is so scarce nowadays, know what I mean?

[Kampfkauz]

War hier jemand beim Bund? Ich hab genug Patronen aus dem Mg3 gejagt, die 1200 Spm hören sich nur geringfügig anders an als die 1500 Spm des Mg42. Naja und zischen... eher ein Brüllen ; ) Ja, das wird wohl eine jugo-Variante sein.

[XxK41xX]

mein opa war mg42-schütze an der ostfront und der meinte, es gäb überhaupt kein geräusch, sondern nur ein zischen. denn diese waffe schoss mit 3000 schuss pro minute.

[glasjanus]

MG42=1200/minute......und zischen, genau!

Diese ist ein Zastava Arms in Kragujevac Serbia M-53 SARAC (850/minute) (>'45-'99 Yugoslav)(kopie of MG42)

[SymAmineC8H11N]

yeah, >'45-'99 Yugoslav semi auto from century arms??

[SotaJumalan]

Company107 du sagst du kommst aus deutschland hast aber NULL ahnung...schau doch mal vorn am lauf, alleine daran siehst du das es ein MG42 ist, und es gibt auch noch genügend andere zeichen dafür, das es ein MG42 ist...

[drumfreak125]

Meiner Meinung nach ist das n MG3, da die Feuerrate um einiges geringer ist, als bei einem MG42...

[Company107]

Thats a MG 34! I now it! Im from Germany...

[slopedarmor]

It sure as hell doesn't sound like a MG42 but it does look like one. That's not a MG34

[Edward2Rangers]

sounds like a mg34

[Brian79camino]

that even sounds a little slower then a 34....i don't know whats up with this gun.......

[Edward2Rangers]

sounds horrible!

[lilbeezy4utoo]

It depends on the bolts you use.

One of four?? More likely one of a few hundred.

[dylanbongers]

thats what im talkin about

[grassvalleystudios]

Acttualy i've seen (in person) a rubber band gun that had a fire rate of 2900 RPM.

it was a two barrel gattle and held about 200 rubber bands.

Of course this is from about WWII.

so thats pretty remarkable.

theoretically of course.

[Hannu2792]

theres no weapon with such a fire rate from ww2...

mg42 with about 1000rpm was the fastest, wasnt it?

[grassvalleystudios]

I know that.

duuuhhhhhhh.

I said i've seen a rubber band gun that has 2900 rpm. and i said this gun on here is alot slower than 2900 but because it's from wwii its remarkeble.

[Hannu2792]

^^ sorry... seems like i misread your comment :P

[mischl343]

very cool !

[cococo1010]

lol, mineone explote! i was shooting to a box then i hear, boom! and y gun was in fire!

[guitoudu04]

nice

[SmashingLoudBoy]

i've just farted

[xMelvinSmileyx]

This weapon (slightly modified) is still in use in the german bundeswehr. The firerate can indeed be set pretty high, but the barrell is heatening up pretty soon then. But you can substitute the barrell within a few seconds.

[Hannu2792]

actually, a new machine gun, named MG4 by heckler&koch was developed in 2005 and is now the most frequently used :)

[xMelvinSmileyx]

Well....that was after my time...i served 1993-1994...no doubt Heckler & Koch did a good job on that MG4, but the MG 42 and its Bundeswehr-pendant were badass motherfuckers :)

[Hannu2792]

:D wenn du in der bundeswehr warst, dann könnte man sich doch auch auf deutsch unterhalten ;)

ich hätte auch mal gern ein original mg42 gesehn ^^

[Mcpunk107]

What a classic

[afluffyman]

PWNED!!!!

[slyguy321]

Now thats what I call a gun

[ottofreyr93]

Ye, I heard it was about 600, 900 and up to 1200 Rmp

[fireboy70000]

IT'S AN MG 42 lol

[DudishDanny]

From my little knowledge about this gun, Isn't the fire rate a lot quicker? Correct me If Im wrong.

[airsoftmaster22]

thats true,and your not wrong.

[BulletK1ss]

@DudishDanny for me it looks like 800r/pm

[schweinchenbaben]

@DudishDanny

it is.. 1500 rounds per minute =)

[watehfreak]

@DudishDanny The fire rate can vary depending on the bolt, from 900-1500 rpm.

[Vintage772]

get to the CHOPPA !

[streetvet3ran]

he missed.

[GermanWW2fan]

JAWOLL! the GOOD Old Germany MG42

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Why does this MG-42 seem to fire a bit slower than mine?  I use 8mm Mauser cartridges, is your ammo different perhaps, or do you have a heavier MG-3 bolt in it? See my video response above to hear my MG-42's rate of fire.

[TNKenni]

This particular gun is a post war production firearm. It was in .308 using a heavy bolt and buffer system. Slowed by the factory to about 800-850 rpm.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

Thanks TNKenni! I KNEW it was different than my MG-42. You save more money on ammo!

[TNKenni]

Not sure about that!!!

It was a neat piece. Sold it, only gun I regret selling.

[TomTomTheSatNavmk1]

the barrel could be changed in under 3 seconds and is still used today because its so succesful.

[thomas242007]

meet my rittle friend!!!

[HinterstoderSepp]

sounds like the new breechblock, is'it it?

[txaggieof08]

Those asking "where to get one". They exist in this country, and can be legally bought and sold IF there is the accompanying NFA paperwork. They are extremely rare, and be prepared to pay 10'd of thousands of dollars for the gun alone. I also understand that certain states vary in there laws on the discharge of machine guns under the NFA definitions. Most who posses these guns are wealthy collectors.

There are civilian versions, but they are not full auto, and cannot be made so within the law.

[SteinOnkel]

I bought one in Germany for 480 euros in good condition.

Here it is very illegal to make it shoot, but it is possible if you want to.

[dezzie74]

awesome

[JuliusCeasar223]

WHERE CAN I GET 1 0-0

[Arceus63629]

one thing to say,german machine guns are kick ass!

[killert60]

love the weapon nice but were od you get that weapon i look for it

[hondaracing15]

those shells are so expensive.. the guy jus went thru some dough lol

[Pimpzilla300]

Whoo ho, the Nazi's developed a mean MG, practically 20 rounds a second.

But the MG 3 is better in terms of control and ammo consumption, for the same effect.

[matthewofpuppets]

God Damn I want one really bad! there so freaking awesome!

[TheGenRex]

Beautiful gun ^^ gotta hand it to Germany they make a mean MG and tank ^^

[Takanabe]

MG 3 with NATO-brake to slow down the firing rate.... to 800 rpm the oroginal sounds better .... 1200 rpm

[surfstrat59]

JUMPIN' JEEEEEEEEEEEEZUS!

[izurz]

o yeaaa

[sasop117]

these Germans know how to make a machine gun

[drumsordie]

wow...

lol

[armenius25]

The Americans and other allies were so terrified of the MG42 that they eavn made a Special Propaganda Vidio about it...Saying

that is Bark is worser than its Bite.OH BOY!

Its Bite was 1000x worser than its Bark...Cus

it can cut a solder in half whit just one Burst.Also,the fear factor was enormous,cus once Tha Gun starts Spiting Lead out,the Allied Solders would go down eavn if it was not aiming at them!

What a Masterpeace of Ingenearing!Best Gun to this day,according to Americans...

[Barre576]

Well there is sme truth is saying the bark is bigger than the bite, it sure was a very good MG but it was hard to control and hard to keep up prolonged fire, it need the barrel changed and it ate up ammo very fast. imo the mg34 was just as good if not better in terms of a weapon to suppres

[Joseph565112]

You're right it is an MG3. There are more than 4 MG-42's in the U.S. It has a synthetic stock too. That's what the MG3 uses, either a regular synthetic, or bakelite one.

[TNKenni]

No, it was not an MG3. The gun was a 1964 post-war production MG42 in .308 Nato.

[Joseph565112]

Well, okay. If that be the case then they basically destroyed the essence of an MG-42. Like I said before, there are indeed more than four MG-42s in the "country" If I bought an MG-42; it would not be in .308. It would be 7.92 like the actual MG-42. Like these damn conversion kits for ARs to convert to a .22LR. I mean, once you do that, it is not an AR anymore. No matter how much the people that buy those say they are.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I own an 8mm MG-42. The parts needed to convert the gun to .308 make it cheaper to shoot and do not change the rate of fire or require permanent changes to the gun. I still use 8mm, but the lower cost of .308 is very tempting.

[Joseph565112]

I am aware of all that. It still doesn't change what I said. An MG-42 is 8mm. I am know that the difference between .308 vs 8mm is a lot less than .223 to .22LR for example in other conversions. However, if you want to shoot .308 just buy a newer MG3. I mean, if you have the thousands of dollars to buy any of these guns why would you spend 35 or 40 K on an MG-42 then change in one or more ways? Just buy an MG3 then.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I agree with your perspective. It's just that 8mm is so expensive that just for shooting purposes, having the extra parts to shoot .308 is quite practical.  My stock of 8mm ammo is rather small, so shooting my MG-42 is usually done for special occasions with friends these days.

[BuCk3Th34D411]

c'mon! dont put it on a tripod! Put a Bipod on it and tuck it in your shoulder!

[spitgalore]

With such a high rate of fire-power, no wonder the manufacturer wanted to reduce it with a heavier bolt. Can you imagine the # of men to carry all that heavy ammo into the battle zone? Thanks for sharing.

[connmann66]

thats an mg3 with the heavier bolt

[ZAuMler]

definitely a mg3!

[gangsterPG678]

rambo jeeaah man

[TNKenni]

No, it is not an MG-3. I owned the gun at the time the video was made. It is a transitional gun, pre MG-3. Stamped on the side MG-42, and dated 1964. The bolt in this gun was a modification made for the Italian's, and weighed in at 950 grams, nearly 3 times the weight of the original MG-42 bolt. The buffer assembly is different as well.

[jdmsingapore]

first its a MG3

second the only other modification to the mg42 ist that the mg3 has a spring inside the bolt mechanism which givees way under load and so reduces its rate of fire. only thing u need to change is the spring to a solid unit and voila u got ur 1600 rounds per minute !

[54spiritedwill54]

i thought the 42 was faster

[HEINZUNIMOG]

The modifications to the basic MG42/MG3 design include an extremely heavy bolt (950 grams vs. the 675 gram MG3 bolt) which slows the rate of fire to around 850-900 rounds per minute.

Rate of fire: Variable, from 850 rounds/min to 1,600 round/min or more depending on installed bolt weight (different weight bolt components introduced to regulate rate of fire, lighter assemblies providing faster rates of fire). Up to 1,800 round/min on the MG45 or without "recoil

[karlpohl]

The US Army should not have put that heavy a bolt in it. The Colt armory should have concentrated on minimizing the recoil and the weight of this perfect WW-2 killing machine and reduce it to 1100rounds/ min firing the full metal jacket older NATO cartridge.

[VpR81]

wtf? the MG3 does 1200 rpm and thats because of the spring, not because of the bolt. Thats what i´ve learned in the german army

[TNKenski]

This gun was imported by Colt during the early 1960's as an R&D piece when Colt was designing something to furnish the military. The M-60 was ultimately selected. This particular gun was marked as an MG-42 but set up in factory .308 using a heavy bolt feature developed for the Italians to slow the rate of fire from 1,200 to about 900 rpm. There are actually about 6 of these guns in the registry. This one was mine when the video was made.

[karthikspartan]

its really powerfull world war 2 technology,..

[Soldat177]

ok what country? because if its the US thats a big lie right there

[DerMeister2007]

sounded slower than usual.

[doop01]

thats cus its firing so fast lol

[Aligreta]

But here it has a modified rate of fire, may be the lenght of the recoil spring.

The common rate of fire is about 1200-1300 rounds per minute, but some latest versions reached 1500.

[Yangarino]

nope, you drop the rate of fire on a MG42/MG3 by adding bolt weight to it

[Aligreta]

Here is firing at about 800 rpm.

[SkinSinFilms]

sweet!

[rommel5055]

i don't want to stay in front of this. tht's very fast. over 2800 and 3200 bullets per minute in some cases.

[Hinkl0r]

no?!

the mg42 fired between 1500 and 1800 rpm

[ozziemo27]

thats the minigun, genious

[poshtommys]

i thought the 42 was faster than that

[mg198242]

Actually it's faster than you think!!! It fires around 5 bullets/sec, the problem is that the humans cannot percept that. Someone may think it just fired 30 bullets but actually it fired 100 bullets already!!!
