Talk:MG 42
Additional images
CETME
CETME Ameli (please note capitals as CETME is a abbreviation) Is not a minaturised MG42/MG3 it is in fact a SAW variant of the CETME 5.56mm rifles like the H&K 21/23 machine guns and works on delayed blowback not the short recoil of the MG42/MG3
- That is all entirely true as I've read. But, since it bears such an uncanny resemblance to the German MG guns, probably wouldn't hurt to leave it. That note should be posted on the page, though. StanTheMan 17:03, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
MG42 with Drum Magazine
I was able to get a picture of the MG42 with the drum magazine, the one that appears in some video games. Though I don't know if German units in World War 2 did have MG42 with drum magazines, I'm not sure if I should put this image onto the gun's page. - Kenny99 00:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC) Yeah the MG42 retained the 50 round drum magazine from the MG34, but not the 75 round double drum.

- Wasn't the 75 round double-drum just a magazine for the MG15 and not a belt holder?--Mandolin (talk) 10:23, 16 February 2014 (EST)
A thought
- Hey,guys! I want to hear a comparison between these two legendary MG's:MG 34 and 42.
First question:Is it true that the MG 42 couldn't jam?I heard that the Mg 34 was ineffective during cold weather or somwehre in mud.True or just a Myth. --VLAD M (talk) 18:42, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
- All firearms can jam. And to my knowledge the MG34's cold-weather problems were just the standard "Its negative 20 Celsius, nothing works". Even Russian guns won't work if the metal freezes to itself, and when its that cold combat is impossible. Its probably snowing or has snowed several feet of snow and you have enough trouble just trying to not freeze to death. Also, you should probably ask this on the forum, its a better place for discussion.--Mandolin (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2016 (EDT)
What forum?--VLAD M (talk) 08:10, 10 July 2016 (EDT)
- The IMFDB Forum. If you do not have an account, post in this discussion page and one will be created for you. --commando552 (talk) 08:54, 10 July 2016 (EDT)
