Hi there !
Today , I'm going to tell you about MG42. Here's a photo :

History:
It was the most popular Machine gun in german army. MG42 was created to replace MG34 , because MG34 was too complicated and too expansive. MG42 cooling system was powered by air , so it was very effective.Also , if it's the barell was too hot , you could change barrel in 20 seconds. You know what they did on Omaha beach. Allied forces named it "Hitler's saw" , because it could totally dacapitate soldier due to it's fire rate.

It was very effective gun , and allies hated this gun.
