what were the teo main machine guns of the germans and US in wwII? Also which one do you think is better and why.

wow, thats THE FUNNIEST sig i have ever seen, and i dn't know why its soo funny.

Germans was the MG-42/34

The Mg 42 and the browning .30 cal...

hah i forgot about how it was the base for the M60

[quote="hersheyman"]the only drawbakc for that gun is that the 7.92mm ammo is odd.[/quote]

.30 cal not realy an Infantry LMG...had to have a 3 mancrew..one to carry the tripod, one to carry ammo and one to carry the gun...The mg42 has a 3 man crew but the whole weapon system can be transported by one man. the other 2 guys are just a long to carry ammo and extra barrels. low rate of fire and prone to jams, the later version the 1919A4 or A6 I think is what it was called had a shoulder stock and a pipod. but still a heavy weapon ...I have lugged around both and the mg 42 blows the .30 cal out of the water!

i stand corrected... thankyou for clearing that up for me

naw it was the way you could quickly change the barrel out ...

At 1200 rpm you'd have to swap barrels. If the thing heats up and starts to droop... bad mojo.

Germany:

Most of the german MG's that you listed were hardley used in the war...

Hmm I did not know that ..

You must also understand German tactics of the time as well. The German infantry squad supported the MG with riflemen. While the US MG supported the riflemen.

yea i have humped around a 1919A6 BMG and that is no fun. haha always nice to get back to a garand or a BAR.
