I'd give somebodies left nut for an MG42. I fired one with the old 1100rpm rate, was incredibly awesome. It's a steady push, not a staccato recoil. I suspect the HK has been tamed to the usual 6-700 rpm. Believe it or not, the M60 was our "product improvement" version. In my Army Cal.Guard days "84-86, I was in armament in a tank support unit. The M60 was a jammamatic, some would go over a couple hundred rounds before quitting. Tree Mike
Cool but he's forgotten the bullets.
ReplyDeleteRounds, not bullets Herr Anon. It's a H&K MG-3. The modern version of the WW-II MG-42
DeleteHe's waiting for the squad "calone" to bring up the ammo.

ReplyDeleteBone skinny approaching anorexic. Probably doesn't want any ammo, just wants to look tough and heroic.
ReplyDeleteYes, the bullets usually come preinstalled in the cartridges (a/k/a rounds)
ReplyDeleteBog, is the H&K MG-3 rate of fire similar to the MG-42's?
