Shooting the WWII German MG42

This gun was rebuilt as a Post Sales Sample and is only available to other NFA dealers. I've posted a few other MG42 videos here so be sure and check those out as well. Thanks for watching!

C2,was this MG42 built from a collection of parts or from a de-milled kit where the receiver had been sawn/gas cut etc? If the receiver was re-welded what are you views on weapons where the receiver has be welded back together? I myself would be very wary of any weapon that had been welded back together,small calibre weapons I could trust but there is a video on here of someone welding a LAHTI L-39 receiver back together.This rifle takes a 20mmx138B shell,I wouldn't risk it,its a fierce weapon!

@silver760 There is nothing wrong with re-welding a receiver after it has been cut, by either saw or torch as long as the welds are pure (clean) and proper steps are taken to prep the metal before welding. A new weld can be just as strong as a virgil piece of steel if done correctly. The powerful Dshk that I re-welded is a case example.

I've heard the MG42 was not horribly accurate and I wanted to see if that was true. I know all machine guns (and guns for that matter) shoot in a general cone shape, but do you notice that it shoots a little wider than most machine guns or do you not see any real differences? Also, do you shoot the surplus 7.92mm? I can't imagine you shoot strictly brass all the time, it must get expensive! Great video!

I feel sorry for anyone caught in the sights of this weapon ! The MG42 was the best of the war.

I think all that noise is coming from the receiver breaking the sound barrier
