Lego FG42

This was a very cool project, but difficult at the same time. The FG42 is definitely one of the most badass weapons of its time, even if not really practical (kinda like with the Tiger tank). It could fire precisely at 800 metres or even more. It could shoot semi-auto from the closed bolt or full auto from the open bolt. However, the idea of using it as an LMG was not a good one. Small mass and high recoil made the weapon uncontrollable, pretty much like with the later M14. The FG42 was very rare. Only 7000 FG42s were made in total, considering all versions. It was one of those many German research projects that had no impact on the war. Based on the FG42 and the MG42 was designed the M60, one of the worst machineguns of the last few decades.
