The '''MG 81''' was a German belt-fed flexible-mount machine gun, generally replacing the [[MG 15]] as a defensive aircraft weapon. The MG 81 was developed by Mauser as a derivative of their successful [[MG 34]] infantry machine gun; developed in 1938/1939, it was in production from 1940 to 1945. Some were setup for infantry use later in the war.

The twin-mount '''MG 81Z''' (the Z suffix stands for ''Zwilling'', meaning "twin") was introduced in 1942. It paired up two of the weapons on one mount to provide even more firepower with a maximum rate of fire of 3200 rounds per minute, without requiring much more space than a standard machine gun. The MG 81Z was also used in several rather unique setups, such as the ''Giesskanne'' ("watering can") gunpod used on Ju 87s and Ju 88s, which featured three guns (six barrels) per pod, thus with two gunpods (twelve barrels) giving a combined rate of fire of ''19200 rounds per minute''.
