New German Army machine gun.



NEW GERMAN MACHINE GUN - Best thing out of Germany since the 'Beetle'.
Very Impressive and stable platform. It can be fired from virtually any position including standing.
Virtually no muzzle rise with a 7.62!

Noticed almost no recoil as well.

As a former machine gunner, I am in awe of these new German machine guns. Good grief.... Amazing rates of fire. If only they had them on the Eastern Front.... I would damn sure hate to be "down range" facing these weapons.
And they're planning on cutting back our military here, I sure hope they know what they're doing.... I am astounded at the ease in changing the barrels as well as the very low recoil forces it has.

Incredible rate of fire all right but wasn't that one of the issues with the MG-42? A fearsome weapon to face but the rate of fire was so high it went through massive amounts of ammunition and caused supply issues, particularly on the eastern front.

Impressive, but I've heard the oil fed chain tensioners in them can fail.

Dropping it in water can't be good for the barrel

All it needs are some speakers in the stock that play Wagner when you fire.
