Waffen-SS MG42 MMG team firing (1943-45)

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 firepower 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.

This pack contains:
- 1 metal medium machine gun
- 3 metal crew figures

Note: Models supplied unassembled and unpainted. Metal parts.
Scale: 28mm.
