David Aitken Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 I designed a scenario with a Sicherung battalion, and the battaltion AT battery (PaK38's) had two LMG42's.

Rattus Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Guachi, Curious, does that actually represent more ammo or just the same ammo but with a lower ROF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jshandorf Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by BAR: there is really no logical comparison of the .50 cal and the MG42 for ammo load reasons as the MG 42 used roughly a 30-06 round.(Don't know the exact cal 7mm or 8mm) I usually take almost 250 rounds of mixed 30-06 and 7.62 NATO (.308) to the range every Sunday for my Garand and M14. The .50 cal round is absolutely huge in comparison. I understand the tripod factor and other accesories weigh in, but if the LMG 42 has no tripod it should be able to run along with the .30 cal LMG Browning as if it were a 'schreck or 'zooka.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> The size of a MG42 round is 7.92mm x 57mm.
