MG-42 sturmfeuer (assault fire)

This is a simple demonstration of how an MG-42 is used in assault fire mode. This was only used if the gunner and crew had to lay down fire when moving a short distance or retreating, not in offense. The MG-42 cannot be handled in such a manner for long because it is extremely strenuous. Stupid comments about video games will be deleted. Insulting or ignorant commentators will be instantly banned.

Awesome vid bro! If I had 25K and nothing better to do with it an MG42 would be on the top of the list!

@SpencerAK74M Well Spence, it wasn't as if I just had $25K burning a hole in my pocket when I started. The opportunity to buy one came along, and I busted my hump working to pay it off after purchasing it. You see, you don't just go BUY one with money you already have, you work until you have enough to purchase one. You have to make a disciplined effort to save for one. If I just had the $25K already, it would probably have been spent on the house or a car, like most people choose to spend.

@SpencerAK74M And you know, IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!

@DARIVSARCHITECTVS If you want one, you should start saving NOW. The prices are at the lowest they will get. I know it's not easy to save up for a machine gun (I've done it THREE times!).

Looks like that thing's got a heck of a recoil...

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

@skrivbok It's more of a hard, rattling push. It doesn't slam you really hard like a high power rifle or shotgun. It does take strength to control. Once you get used to it, it's not so bad.

@SupaSexiiBitch Hello retard! welcome to my cool youtube video!

@Komodokid57 Does the uniform piss you off even though it's for historical reenactment purposes? If so, please go elsewhere. To answer your question, the belt is rolled into a drum so it feeds properly and does not need support to keep the feed angle horizontal. The empty portion of the belt spills out the right side, and you don't need to worry about that portion.

[SpencerAK74M]

@DARIVSARCHITECTVS All valid points... I was just saying right now as of this moment. Lol

@Ahuxley68 We have this thing called World War Two Reenacting here... Perhaps you've heard of it?

[Ahuxley68]

Somewhat discomforting watching americans i Wehrmacht uniforms toying around with Mg42s etc. I can understand the fascination about the weaponry, (have used them myself- in service in the norwegian army) but this fancy dress show.... for us in "the old world" it is quite ridiculous.

[skrivbok]

@DARIVSARCHITECTVS Oh, I see... would be really interesting to try firing an old weapon like that... :P
