@stuka52 Germany attempted to field a Universal or General purpose MG.

If you had the right US MG on hand, it was superior, "If..."

If I'm not mistaken the MG42 was considered a light machine gun when carried or bipod and heavy when installed in the tripod. (I'm not trying to be a dick or anything).
