  • Fact is....this is a just plain stupid, and typically over engineered "Deutch" weapon. High rate of fire, that is very hard to control, with a system for switching out barrels every 250 rounds. Thank God Deutchlanders didn't get the idea of the Gatling multi barrel. D-Day may have gone alot worse.

  • You don't need a barrel change that soon unless you fire non-stop. Sorry, I disagree about it being a "stupid" design and so do a lot of weapon developers.

  • umm actually u chane the barrel after every 1000 rounds and this is only from non stop shooting

  • Well, only an idiot would fire it for almost a minute without stopping. Crew served weapons are suppossed to last a little longer than that.

  • @urmomxl9990 no you only have to change the barrel after over heating.

  • I wonder what the creators of this weapon would think if they could get to see not only how important their brainchild was to machine gun technological development, but that their creation is so well-respected by the people it once was aimed against?

  • one good thing that came out of ww2

  • make that that  fire any faster and there would b no need for a Minigun haha

  • Rock and ROLL,MG-42s rule!

  • Not only that but the M60 GPMG is a result of some of that engineering. The MG42 was and still is one of the best MGs ever developed.

  • Wow. If the MG42 was so stupid, why did they make an almost EXACT copy of it so it could still be used today? (MG3)
