  • It worked back then, but nowadays accuracy > volume

  • I'd love to see that curly-headed know-it-all actually shoot one if he knows "so much" about these weapons...so annoying. Anywho, I know what I want for Christmas...

  • that's all well and nice, but the point is moot if you can't make enough bullets.

  • @Holammer

    Doesn't matter man. They were smart enough to develop something that helped them out a lot. No such thing as fair gun fights in war. You want the advantage because that is your life on the line.

  • @TheSupersoldier1234 perhaps you could explore the G43, and consider if that replaced the K98.

  • @Holammer the germans used a semi-automatic rifle the "gewehr 43" but it was most used as a long ranch sniper rifle but could also be a infantry rifle with out a scope like the soviet SVT-40 :)

  • Fine weapon, but I can't help wonder how the Germans would have fared if they equipped their soldiers with a semi-automatic weapon like the M1 Garand.

  • Well the MG34 could have used little more becuse it would have been shoot from your hands not just a deploy able to shoot.

  • its always so annoying to watch Mr. Pig and his friend Nusbacher....

  • @jpo2084028 yes and no. German upgraded their MG42 into MG3, so in some way you can say they're still in use.
