Known as “Hitler's Buzzsaw” on account of its high rate of fire. The MG42 fired 1250 rounds/minute, more than twice that of the British Vickers Machine Gun and American Browning. Add this tremendous fire-power to your Germans and give your infantry some much needed support.
Unlike other armies, the Germans used the same machine gun both as a squad weapon and as a tripod mounted support weapon. The tripod mount provided a much more stable firing platform and made it easier to keep up a continuous fire using a belt feed.
This version features a three man team with a tripod mounted MG42 in position and is manned by Waffen-SS soldiers.
