  • Beautiful Machine Gun :)

  • ja das kann auch sein^^

    danke

  • the best gun of ww2

  • @Rammstein8814

    stimmt aber ich bin der meinung das einige einheiten der bundeswehr noch das mg42 benutzen bin mir aber ned sicher

  • @jeff9696hardy

    Das kann nicht sein. Für das MG42 gibts nämlich, so ohne weiteres, gar keine Munition mehr. Für das MG3 der Bundeswehr benötigt man die recht geläufige 7,62x51 mm Nato Patrone, das MG42 dagegen braucht 7,92 × 57 mm Munition ...

    Trotz allem sehen sich die beiden Waffen total ähnlich, eventuell hast du da auch nur etwas verwechselt.

  • @Snake87deluxe Ne ähnlich nicht ganz ... der Rückstoßverstärker ist beim MG3 ein einzelnes bauteil ..beim MG42 nicht da ist es eher ein rückstoßdämpfer ... ;-)

  • @jeff9696hardy die österreicher haben das doch noch lange verwendet.. auch in vielen anderen Ländern wird das Mg42 noch heute geschossen.

  • cooooooool

  • Das MG42 hatte eine Kadenz von 25-28 Schuss pro Sekunde. Also 1500-1700 Schuss/Min.

    Das MG3 hat nur noch 1.150 Schuss/min also nur 19 Schuss pro Sekunde.

  • @Rammstein8814 Nee... das MG 42 hatte 1200 Schuss pro Minute. Das MG 45 hatte ca. 1500 Schuss pro Minute und mit Modifikationen brachte man es af ca. 1700 Schuss pro Minute.

    Und ob du 1200 oder 1150 Schuss pro Minute raus lässt kommt jetzt wirklich nicht mehr drauf an. zudem ist die Kadenz von Waffe zu Waffe leicht unterschiedlich. Die Angaben sind bloss Sollwerte oder Messungen einzelner Waffen.

  • @ABCKorpi das 42 konnte bis zu 1600 + schuss pro min raushaun. des mg3 nunmehr ca. 1200 unter anderem weil der verschluss schwerer ist.

  • @PzAufklaerer12Btl Ou ja... stimmt... woher hatte ich denn die 1200 schuss pro minute??? Naja... auch 1200 schuss pro minute beim MG 3 ist noch genug...

  • tolle waffe

  • The MG34 was a better made and more versatile weapon overall. The MG42 was a simplified version that was easier to produce and to operate.

  • Murnest you are right on all accounts but might I add that the MG34 was more expensive to produce ; too complicated (mostly machined parts instead of all stampings as in the MG42) and prone to jamming when used in muddy and dirty conditions.

    Still it remained the weapon of choice for tankuse (Nahverteidigungswaffe). Indeed the lower rate of fire made the MG34 a more accurate weapon and less of an "ammo-eater".

  • @Murrnest the mg34 was just more complicate. the better mg is the mg42

  • indeed

  • What a wicked killing machine it was!!! Set up on tripod and sight and all!!! No wonder they called it the buzzsaw!!! I`d like to have two of them!

  • It has the "NATO-Brake". The origin gun had often firing-pin breakage

  • is the german mg3 modern Lmg is the exact copy of mg42?

  • No, different charging handle and the stock is bakelite. Not to mention its a different caliber and has a considerably lower rate of fire.

  • it's based on it, not saying a exact copy but just a more mordern version

  • It´s the same weapon.

    It´s now only built with better steal and use NATO-calibre 7.62mm instead of the Mauser 7.92mm.

  • The only difference is that it fires the NATO 7.62 X 51 (.308) round, and is machined to use the U.S. distintegrading link belt; externally, the gun has the exact same appearance as the real '42.

  • @radioactiveman30 have a close look at the mg3 and 42. u´ll c quite a lot differences

  • Jungs das ist mit einer der einzigen waffen die es geschaft haben das sie heute noch genutzt werden weil das mg 42 Sehr gut ist .... Kurz gesagt wir bauen immer die besten waffen denn wir Deutschen sind the War kings ;-) Aber voll viele kopieren unsere waffen nur mit anderem aus sehen aber Deutsche technologie ...

  • great video.

    a box is not needed. only when mounted will that be usefull but there are other ways. in an assult the box will just unhandy and might get broken in the heat of battle.

    normally belts from 50 ~ 100 rounds are caried.

    And in a nest they just put as many together as posible if needed.

    Mg-42 or the more modern version mg-62 is proberly the best lmg ever made.

  • assault drum only holds 50 rounds, I'm talking about a whole amoo box of ammo. 250+ rounds

  • seems like a ammo box could be mounted on slide rails under the gun, to sit like an M60, turning the 42 into one huge heavy ass SAW. if I had one, that's what I'd do. The bipod should provide some clearance under the gun to mount it this way, and if its not enough, you could increase the height of the bipod. This way you could grab the whole gun and run with it, ammo and all, drop to the ground, and shoot. Maybe do away with bipod, and balance / rotate the gun on the attached ammo box

  • We have 100rd "nutsacks" soft cloth pouches for the SAW. Theyre more preffered cause the box drum is just cumbersome.

  • realy good video

  • Ich verstehe es nicht wie man so etwas schreiben kann, das kann nur von inzucht-entstandenen menschen kommen, da kriegt man echt kopfschmerzen. eure scheiss ak47,m60 usw, sind alles kopien von deutschen waffen (technisch, als auch in gewisser maßen optisch) also wenn ihr keine ahnung habt dann haltet eure fressen - und vergöttert weiterhin eure müll-entwicklungen

  • Du bist stimmt, dass die ak47, m60 und usw kopien von deutsche technologie sind. Es ist nicht sehr akkurat, aber die ak nicht furchtbar ist. Es ist das zuverlässtigste gewehr in die welt

  • mit deutschen Maschinengewehren ist nicht zu spassen Jungs !!!!

  • meh nothing thet good,i like the mk46 better

  • The mk46 is limited by the caliber it fires. 7.92 x 57mm has a lot more potential to get the task completed.

  • Awesome piece of kit, like most German arms, whether it be tanks-Tiger/Panther, or firearms, MG34/42, top quality kit. Great engineers!

  • true its the best used mg in the world, since 1942. Of course it has been upgraded since then. But it could never be rebuilt by the americans:).

  • you retard ,how could we not rebuild it?

    its old crappy tech

  • Go look at the M60, which you guys built off the '42.

    Dude, old tech or not, the MG42 was (and still is) the best GPMG in existence.

  • Truly, the M60 was/is a POS that only third world countries are still using, and they were given to them.

  • Only good thing about it was the fact it looked pretty cool... otherwise, blech.

  • You mean the M60, right?

  • Yeah, course :P

  • The M60 is kak but admit its nice to hold/handle, Still its a piece of kak.

  • Actually, the Americans did try to copy the MG42 after WWII, and they made the reveiver too short, so it didn't work. They then went on to make a half arse copy known as the M-60.

  • m60 was actually based of the concept of the fg42. and was awfull.

  • its hardly old and crappy, the gun still outperforms a wide array of modern equivalents, and is  in use with very little modification as the standard gpmg of the german army (g3 is its new designation i beleive), and the roller bolt it uses is actually a revolutionary piece of design.

  • The MG42 was the last and best of the general purpose machineguns. Modern armies base their squads' firepower around a squad automatic weapon (SAW). SAWs are similar to GPMGs in that they have a high rate of fire and are fed by large ammo belts, but a SAW can be carried and fired by a single soldier, and even used like a rifle in a pinch.

  • MG3 is the new name for the 7.62mm model. I think it was originally called the MG42/58 for the year of original and secondary modification, 1942 and 1958. Later it was redisignated MG3. I really like the system. I saw some the Estonians were using in Iraq. They were given to them by the Swedes, along with some G-3s, which were in great shape as well. The G-3 is a rifle that uses a similar delayed recoil design.

  • Propaganda. In short bursts of 10 to 15 rounds the MG42 was highly accurate and in with a tripod that is really fixed to the ground it was a miracle weapon

  • Germans = precision
