pritzl Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 Hey guys, Awhile ago, somebody posted a link to a webpage showing live firing of an MG42 by some reinactors. Does anyone have that link offhand. I've tried to search (both here and search engines) but have come up with nothing. Thanks for any help.

Mannheim Tanker Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 I did a quick search, but the link that MG Mannschft posted is now broken: http://www.adweb.net/boba/pnwhg) Perhaps it was a different posting you're referring to? ------------------ "The real groundbreaker of CM isn't the 3D modeling, it's the 'holy crap! what the heck was THAT' factor." - Dalem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Fredriksson Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 Just remove the ")" from the link, and you'll be pointed to this one: http://www.optimumlogic.com/pnwhg/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 The book "German Automatic Weapons of World War II" by Robert Bruce is a good reference. Shows detailed step by step field-stripping, close ups, live firing using ammunition from the period. Lots of color photos of the various weapons being fired and field stripped with comments. -john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest machineman Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 http://www.waffenhq.de/index1024.html has a live firing MG clip under the 'filme' section, although I am having trouble unzipping the downloaded file for some reason. The King Tiger film worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooktrout Posted September 25, 2000 Share Posted September 25, 2000 Most of the WW2 clips that appear at the waffenhq link are on the CC2 CD under the Videos folder in mpeg format. This includes the HPak, MG42 and King Tiger clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandorf Posted September 26, 2000 Share Posted September 26, 2000 For those of you that live anywhere within driving distance of Kearney, Nebraska you should drive on down there in August. They have a machne gun shoot where I personally witnessed a MG42 and MG34 fired before me. To say the least it left me with a healthy fear and respect for the guns. Jeff P.S. BTW i don't live in Nebraska... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
