That must have been a lot of fun! Did you use surplus ammo?</div></div>
The MG42 is awesome and great fun. It's my favourite weapon.
A friend of mine colleced German MG's. His most impressive guns were MG81 and MG81Z. The MG81(single) was clocked at 1600 rpm in a package just a little larger than the new S&W 500 revolver

The Z rpm was 3200rpm with an extreme muzzle flash..
Original German steel cased ammo. This was in the late 70'ies, early 80'ies when there were a lot of surplus German ammo around. We had a lot of special ammo as well. Tracer that lit on 200m, explosive, etc.
