mg42

[futurebestseller84]

why doesnt anyone on youtube ever just spray the MG?? everyone always just short-bursts it..

let her sing!!

[vcsniper556]

@futurebestseller84 wheres your video of you spraying one?

[futurebestseller84]

@vcsniper556 trust me dude, if i had one, i would lol

[ginjaninja1988]

@futurebestseller84 Probably because A: They are just having a quick go and they don't have a huge belt of ammo and they want to enjoy it not blast all down range in 2 secs or B: Its an old and expensive weapon and they don't want to damage it or C: they want to try and actually hit their target or D: Small bursts is the proper way to shoot it and probably also a bit of E: You and your entertainmet value while watching Youtube is probably the furthest thing from their mind.

[futurebestseller84]

@ginjaninja1988 ok fuck you for judging people...i just thought it would be cool to do it. i'm a hugw WW2 buff

[ginjaninja1988]

@futurebestseller84 alright calm down. It wasn't mean't in an awful way...i was just listing out why no one probably shoots a huge burst. And all I was sayhing is that they probably aren't thinking of people on youtube and what they want to see because they are preoccupied shooting the MG 42.

[vcsniper556]

@ginjaninja1988 I was thinking that I only had 50 rounds and wanted to not waste all 50 in 5 seconds.

[ginjaninja1988]

@vcsniper556 haha I totally understand that. I have only been around MG42/34s firing blanks. Im a reenactor; in my country New Zealand you can own full auto weapons BUT not live fire them. Blanks are okay but I would kill for the opportunity to fire one live.

[wfofromthegetgo]

Serious rate of fire on that thing!

[djhornymoney]

my all time favroit weapon

[petrwarry72]

nice one 5*

this tripod looks like original (fittings) or good replica at least ...

[jason127x99]

Any body know whats the best ammo for m-53 in 8 mm? I have romanian and yugo.

yugo sucks the shells don`t chamber right and the primers sink in side the case.

I think I have a bad batch the 12 yr old making them over there was drinking some strong shit.

[GabrielDLorenzo]

old gun shooting day

cause i notice someone shooting mp40 on your side

[vcsniper556]

@GabrielDLorenzo there were all kinds of guns there.

[sethboy66]

@GabrielDLorenzo typical that someone that plays cod immediately calls it a mp40

[GabrielDLorenzo]

@sethboy66 so what do you want me to call it

[sethboy66]

@GabrielDLorenzo just don't automatically take it as one immediately

[GabrielDLorenzo]

@sethboy66 sure ill think twice before calling mp40 then

[jurgenmg42]

It's not MG42! It's MG3!

[vcsniper556]

@jurgenmg42 wrong, those were 8mm rounds, not .308

[jurgenmg42]

@vcsniper556 Maybe, but Flame eliminator from MG-3

[AnimeFanatic5602]

@vcsniper556 MG42 fires 8mm, MG3 is the modern version and fires .308.

[vcsniper556]

@AnimeFanatic5602 ya I know. This is an mg42 because I'm pretty sure I remember those rounds as being 8mm/

[2701guil]

nice shot

[MrHendrixfever]

this machine gun was called the german monster by americans in world war 2

[cjmproduction]

@MrHendrixfever and Hitler's Buzz saw

[lolguy2222]

MG42 IN THE WINDOW!!

[alexsandervictorls]

mg42 é arma nazista isso teria q ser excluidó e apagado da sociedade

[ianator99]

burst what and ho much does one of thoes cost

[vcsniper556]

@ianator99 30,000 to 50,000$

[MrPennyworth007]

@vcsniper556 what makes it so expencive?

[vcsniper556]

@MrPennyworth007 a machine gun that a civilian can buy needs to be made and registered before the 1986 ban. That means there are a limited number of machine guns to go around making their price high. plus this is an mg42 that is much older and not many were bought back to united states. But an average automatic assault rifle like an M16 will cost 10-15 thousand.

[Theedrich346]

My Granpa Got his Arm blown by a mg42 Damn NAZIS!!!!

[morsmortis]

say, "Die motherfucker die", then release the trigger.

[THETHOMASBOIS]

one of these come in my work to day traning one but still had to play with it lol

[Jagdstifti]

Hitlersäge

[mdc2296]

Hitler's buzzsaw. i dont approve of the first word in that name but none the less. it is certainly a buzzsaw on full auto

[ZombieBumProductions]

look in the backround and you can see an mp40!!!

[Kaptk112]

I think we can all agree the MG-42 was the best machine gun of World War Two!!!

Anyone wanna argue with me just shoot me a message!

[EssexRef1976]

who would wanna argue with your statement???? not only is it the best it also makes me horny!!!!!!!

[Warscollar657]

I agree 100% except the M2 "Ma Deuce" I think they would definetly tie in terms of best guns

[hatemf23]

i think its the best machine gun of all time, definitely one of the best, else germans wouldnt still be useing it.

[SgtZippzapp]

@Kaptk112

haha, 'shoot' me a message :P

[seriousgamers01]

@Kaptk112 ppsh to me was the best gun for fully automatic guns but actully machine guns mg42 = badass

[Kaptk112]

@seriousgamers01 lol very true

[seriousgamers01]

@Kaptk112 i know ppsh to me is the coolest sub machine gun and best auto but mg42 to me just pure badass number 2 of all my guns ppsh number 1 just because its fast i like ammo wasting ammo with guns

[thieferic]

@Kaptk112

I think the ma deuce was the best!

[crelesa]

@Kaptk112 what about browning m1919

[Kaptk112]

@crelesa eh it sucked, it jammed frequently, if you had a grain of sand in it

god knows what would happen, and when you cock it you can here it from up to 150 yrds away

[bosshunterman]

@crelesa Much more slower RoF, difficult barrel-changing( MG42-> about 6-7sec Browning-> almost a minute), + No way(or very difficult) to carry/fire with it in assault mode.....

[ginjaninja1988]

@Kaptk112 I'm a bigger fan of the MG-34....it seems to be more manageble ammunition wise......

[MIMIMYBF]

you always see videos firing just a couple of shots, a few people shoot full auto

[vcsniper556]

where is your video of you going full auto with an mg42?

[MIMIMYBF]

I dont say I have a video of it, I only say most people fire in burst, just a few people go full auto

[Kaptk112]

thats because you dont wana ruin the barrel

because they are expensive to buy

[vcsniper556]

thats cause i paid alot for 8mm ammo.

[kniespel]

the MG42 can't accept a "NATO barrel" (7.62x51),it's not exactly the same size.

And I never heared a "MG42 V" it's pure legend.And the incredible rate of fire of the MG42 was a real problem for MG-gunners during last month of the war,it was very hard to have amo when they want.

And the MG42 used gaz back,for recoil the barell,each bullet fired',the barel recoiled. the AN94 do the same thing

[hkseo100]

I think he probably thought of MG3.

[MarioAhner01]

Why do they mount the MG42 like this? if you change the mount to 180° it will be a lot easier to handle the gun

[Tririnity]

Actually no, the recoil from the gun would make the tripod stand on that leg often leading to it tipping over, so soldiers either removed the front leg and mounted it on something with the 2 hind legs for support or turned it around... and the SS and Falschirmjagers fired it from eachothers shoulders, the "mountee" would hang onto the 2 front bipod legs while slumping over... it actually worked well!

[Kaptk112]

@MarioAhner01

im a wwii re-enactor

i know my stuff

basically on some models of the mg42 they would have it as an anti-aircraft gun

thats a common tri-pod for aa guns

[Sandmann89]

The MG42 is no gasloading gun and the rate of fire is by ~1500 rpm. The MG3 which use the German Army still today fires 1200 rpm because it use a heavier breechblock and the caliber is 7,62x51 instead of 7,92x57IS.

[oktoberfest124]

holy crap did you guys see in the background? some guy was shooting an mp40. where do you people go to shoot these ww2 guns? i always see on youtube people hooting all these ww2 guns? are these all somebody's personal collection? is there i place i could go in the state of arizona do shoot all these guns?

[typus20]

the unbeliveble thing about the mg 42, but only in ww2 , how longer you pull the trigger the fire rate comes higher and higher . 1200 bullets in a min is normal , but it can happen that the gun fires 2500 bullets in a min. (sorry for my english - i'm german )

[vcsniper556]

I never heard that. how does it do that?

[chrisramos56]

my favorite firearm of all time

[Jords464]

i don't know why but i really love this gun

[LWRCftw]

uhhhhh... u don't know why? it has incredible looks, its incredibly reliable, and its rate of fire is stellar.

[ClunkyBannaner]

Thats why i luv this gun

[LWRCftw]

MG42 for life!!!!!!!!!!!

[abramsgunner21]

do you know its rpm or what round it fires

[LWRCftw]

it goes 1200 rpm and can use either the 8mm Mauser round or some other one that i dont know.

[abramsgunner21]

its the 7.92mm

[vcsniper556]

its 7.92x57 and they round it up to 8mm. With different barrels it can fire 7.62x51 I believe

[fredmachine]

@vcsniper556 Yeah, the MG3 of the german Bundeswehr is essentially a MG42 chambered for 7.62mm and a few other modifications.

[ProPatriaFinland]

I think this weapon beats american ones..

[Rymramoch]

i belive that the americans,german weppons loven xD
