Is it true that if you position your right fist to high while firing, the handle will actually break the knuckles in your hand? Its what someone at the range told me after showing this on my phone.

@rookdischarger - - yes, if the cocking handle hits your hand, it could very well break a bone.

Is that german MG 08 for real?, because for me it looks more like a finnish maxim machine gun from 1922. It has almost the same lookin tripod and length of water jacket.

@PolishWingedHussar10 German MG08, on a Swiss mount.

@adcosteve I'm pretty sure it's not the Spandu. the Spandau had a trigger and stock, rather than spade grips

[adcosteve]

@lordxeras You're thinking of the MG 08/15.

I love that thug going up and down on the side you could hammer in a nail with it

[iSTOMPguidos]

@FredDude27 this is an mg08. firerate is fixed at 300 rpm

[FredDude27]

For some reason I was expecting a higher rate of fire. Is it possible to set the rof?

[ToreDL87]

hahahaha kickass, notice how all the other gun noises just pale to the Spandau and everyone just stops shooting when the Spandau opens up xD

[ole88bluegmc]

@lordxeras

I believe both the MG 08 and MG 08/15 can be characterized as the "Spandau", which was merely the place of production (a city just outside Berlin). The MG 42 was also known as the "Spandau" among British troops (due to the place of production designation on the gun)
