Product Description
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 easyer to keep up a continuous fire using a belt feed.
This version features three Waffen-SS soldiers with a tripod mounted MG42 running to get into position.
Contents:
- 3 metal crew members carrying MG42
