German WWII MG34 Gerneral Purpose Machine Gun

OK, after many request I finally took the MG34 out of the vault for a quick shake-down. This is a factory original MG34 produced during WW2 in German occupied Czecheslovacia and is coded 'dot' '1944' and is mounted on the original German WW2 Lafette tripod that made these machine guns so accurate in long distance fields of fire against opposing forces. Enjoy the video and check out my other machine gun videos. Thanks for watching!

What calibre is this gun? I'm guessing 7.95mm like other German MGs of that era, but I just wanted to be sure.

@Crazylegs973 7.92x57mm or also called 8mm mauser.

Great video! I love these "Maschinengewehr" things. Especially MG34 and the mighty MG42!

BTW, the internet told me the MG34 has a lot of jamming problems, are they really have a jamming problem?

[C2builder]

@RuHartnett The MG34 was very well made, maybe too well made and not really good in harsh combat conditions like the Sahara or the Russian Front. But, if kept clean and well lubricated it performed its job extremely well. Just ask all the WW2 vets that encountered it. Before the MG42 this is the MG they feared.

Were these used on the German Panzers in WW2? Oh by the way i subscribed- Great videos!

[C2builder]

@nstar247 Yes they were, from 1934 up to 1945. They were never really replaced by the MG42. Thanks.

BLITZKRIEG!!!

@fliegeroh No, this was a ground use gun only. You are thinking of the German MG-15 gun with the saddle drum magazine. Look at my videos of the Jap Type 98 gun it is the same as the MG-15.

Dear santa...

@C2builder Nice Video, what differences are there between the MG42 and the MG34? thanks

[StraightDeu]

How much does the ammo usually cost for that?

[ctv357]

this is a finely made Machine Gun. i've seen a couple of those in Yugoslav Partisan films, used by both the Germans and a couple of Yugoslav Partisans who captured and used those Machine Guns. every captured MG34 and the later and better MG42 was a great prize for the Partisans, it greatly improved the firepower of any unit.

@Crazylegs973 7.92 not a 7.62 ? Just outta curiosity

[Crazylegs973]

@C2builder I meant to type 7.92mm. I kind of had a feeling it would be a calibre similar to others used in Germany at that time. Thanks!

[Crazylegs973]

C2builder, I really like your videos. They have great quality and good angles. I have to congratulate you on creating another amazing film. Well done!
