I did fire the Swiss W+F MG51 (firing GP11). And yes, in the mountains, the echo coming back towards you after a burst is damn scary. Nobody changes the barrel bare hand like in your video games. I've never seen the bipod in the median position. And in the army, everybody likes the weapon, until you have to carry it (14kg with bipod) or clean it! And an ammo box with 200 rounds (5 sec. fire) is 6 kg if I remember correctly.

Another great video Johnny!! Your work always impresses me!! In Audie Murphy's movie To Hell and Back, he takes a MG 34 and clears out some Germans. A good scene. I was at a gun show years ago where there was an MG 34. I asked to pick it up...it was quite heavy!!! And I'm about the same size as Audie.

3:30 “these rounds would not kill, even in a few inches in water” it’s crazy how many movies and shows do not get that right. Even for weapons that ain’t the MG42. Either way, if you got hit by one, it would still hurt the closer to the surface you are. It’d probably still make you bleed or even go in your skin, but it won’t exit. Most of the time, anyways. It’s why arrows are so much more effective at killing people in water.

Thanks, my dad was in the 1st Echelon of the Famous New Zealand 20th Battalion and he fought in Greece, Crete, North Africa and then Italy and he told me how good the German Machine Guns were. After one or two many Scotch Wisky's when he had an old army mate around, I used to play barman, just kept quite and filled their glasses and listened! Yes the Germans had the best gear and they played fair as my dad was wounded in Operation Crusader in a place called Sidi Rezegh, he was taken POW and treated very well by the German medics: He managed to escape with 18 other New Zealanders including their Commander Major General Howard Kippenberger.
When the New Zealanders took a German Prisoner the fist thing they took off them was their Razor Blades; Why because they were alot better than ours, then it was binoculars, cameras, and watches!
My mum and dad ended up going to Germany and catching up with their old foe, the Fallscirmjager in Munich and they had a great time, and mourned their lost comrades.
Germans are a great bunch of people and stupid people on both sides who want war are idiots! Europe has finally learnt that war is stupid; and then you look at Russia and the Ukraine?
Our Machine guns went ta tata ta tat whereas the Germans went Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
I cant wait to go back and visit a new city in Germany once Covid is sorted, I've had my second Vaccine!

based on the German army guidelines for using the MG42, spraying a constant stream was basically forbidden in a sense.
Their regulations stated that you must be firing in quick burst, this was to reduce barrel ware and to not waste ammunition
The Germany army has little tolerance to wastefulness. Under heavy use, a barrel change was after about 300 round I believe, I forgot the actual number but under general use with time allowing the barrel to cool down a bit there was less of a need to change the barrel, but under heavy fire with burst, barrel changes were more often
