Machine gun belt. But there is a nuance

For an Event weapon you can put the MG81 with a Belt of 250 bullets and its rate of fire of 1400-1600 or you can also put the MG81Z with a Belt of 250 and a Rate of Fire of 2800-3200 for an Event

Using the MG42 with its 1800 rate of fire and a 250-round magazine will be excellent for the Axis to be able to use the best light machine gun of WW2 accordingly.

Yeah, whatever. But that’s not how premium recoil works :PPP

Science talks.

Say I have this. I start running then I jump. While jumping I point that thing towards the ground and hold the trigger.

Hypothesis: I would jump higher and farther? :laughing: (would I fly?)

can you give me source for that 1800 rate of fire mg42? from what i remember mg42 had its iconic 1200rof for early war and 900rof for late war(to save on ammo), 1500rof was deemed unusable for infantry and was used only for planes.

wasnt that mg81z twin mg81 for planes? otherwise single mg81 has 1400-1600 rof.

Some versions reach a Cadence of 1800, others even a Cadence of 2000

source?

.

this is from best resource on ww2 small arms weapons.

The same page gives you the Sources (Books) that were used to Upload the Information so an MG42 of Cadence 1800 or 2000 has to be entered as Enlisted

at best you have mention of this

but i kinda doubt it without some kind of literature describing how was this achieved and also something is wrong cause it mentions rate of fire as 1650m/s and not rounds per minute.

According to my (bad) calculations, you need to fire about 4.4k 8mm mauser rounds per minute to hover a 70kg load.

So you need 2 of those and you can go

To fly. But, a single one of those could allow soldiers to long jump!

Same principle as those water hover:
200w (8)
(Imagine it’s mgs at the person’s feet)

Now, since we scientifically established that it takes 2 buffed mg81z per foot to fly, my hypothesis is that using a single one would at the very least make jumps look like those we see from astronauts jumping on the moon!

Some model (not for mass production) fitted it, but almost all of them, simply don’t have it, the patrone was a useless addition and the modification of the mg34 the mg34/41, the MG39 and allmost every mg42 and 45 never had the attach to it, stick two belt together was simple and faster than use the patrone

Agreed the early 42 could fire at 1200 RPM and were issued standard with 100 round belts,150 round belts or a 50 little drum. I think also the MMGs in game should have overheat mechanics I’ve sat at doorways with my stinger and just sprayed my 200 round box without overheating the gun that’s unrealistic especially sense its not a HB variant of the 1919.

Just say you want to make the game really unfair lmfao like dude really

Unfair. To ask that the Best Machine Gun of WW2 be given the corresponding Rate of Fire and Ammunition Capacity, you call it unfair?

There is nothing wrong with asking for that.
