Introduced in the mid-1930s, the MG 34 was known for its versatility and reliability. Its successor, the MG 42, developed later in the war, gained widespread use and became iconic for its exceptionally high rate of fire, approximately 1,200 rounds per minute. Both machine guns were air-cooled, belt-fed, and played crucial roles in providing German infantry with effective and rapid firepower on the battlefield.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy add it to your army?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe HMG plays a vital role in every army. Whether it is mounted on a vehicle, or like this one, carried over the shoulder of infantry. This is a mobile weapon that comes into it's own when it is dug in and out of site! A line of well disguised and defended HMG's can make an infantry advance almost impossible over open terrain. They even have the power to damage lightly armoured vehicles and with up to 6 shots per gun per turn, they can rain down damage an enemy units.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePros:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSignificant number of shots per turn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSome anti armour capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbility to enter buildings and benefit from the shelter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood rolls to save based on their agility\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCons:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be taken out by most weapons on the battlefield\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLess effective when moving (only 2 shots)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParticularly vulnerable to aerial bombardment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIneffective against medium or heavy armour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking these miniatures is straight forward.
