The belts used in the HK21 are DM1 belts and the ones RTG is selling are also. No difference between them.
Standard length for field use belts are 50 rds and the segments of 50 can be linked together to make any multiple of 50rds. I have seen 100rd belts and 200rd belts which are used in vehicles and have run some through my guns over the years. 200 or 250rd belts are also frequently called “fortress” belts because they were used in that length in special ammo cans for fortresses in WWII.
As for the ammo boxes RTG sells I’ve not seen any for the HK 21 but they did have 50rd belt drums and 200 rd ammo boxes that clip onto the feed tray for the MG3. The HK 21 uses a special box attachment that is not compatible with the MG3 type. Those boxes tend to go for a lot of money while the MG3 boxes are much less.

There are more pictures you know, trying not to cry with the MG42
I wish you could show me documents on the use of the weapons I mentioned in WW2, but it seems that this will not be the case.
If you want to prevent the MG42 from being used properly, that’s your problem.
listen to me one the stinger is a limited weapon meaning you cant just have multiple squads armed with it, two even the stinger should only be a 100 round gun, its a us ammo box cut in half meaning 100 not 250 rounds, besides germany has access to 50 plus mgs from br three. also we cqan all get together and hate on russia for having all the good toys.
there only weakness for rifles is at br2 with the winchester and not a semi auto, they have good smgs at every br, good mgs at every br, decent tanks and planes, so brother join hands with me in are shared spit for the true enemy russia.
you have wax in your ears prototypes have always been a part of enlisted. my point was not that is was not used as a man portable mg but at over a hundred rounds it can not be used as a Lmg. bolting a 250 round box to the side and it will snap off if fired without being supported by say the ground. tape belt fed the belt would go on the ground and trip the soldier or cut his head of if looped around the neck (A JOKE). SHOW ME IT CAN BE USED FROM THE HIP OR SHOULDER with 250 rounds and that is enough.
Seriously what’s your problem with the MG42?In this GAME we can carry more than 6-8 magazines of a weapon, grenades/Charges,TNT, Mines, Knives, Shovels, First Aid Kits,AT weapons,Mortars, Flamethrowers,ETC a lot of weightWhere I now mention where the PROBLEM is where the MG42 could be used as an MP40 or an STG44 Although it was not advisable to use it this way
Show me ww2 soldier shooting M2 Stinger with 200 round magazines that could be used while standing and walking i’m waiting. It would look like this and they would carry max 100 rounds:
Wehrmacht fighting doctrine was something like a single MG42 for like every 10 men, mostly equipped with rifles. And MP40s were mostly reserved for squad leaders. The “true to history” argument that Axis mains choose only when it suits them. It’s getting old guys.
The game is generous enough to let you have 3 machinegunners, when instead the true to history version would be most infantry armed kar98 until the end of the war. So enjoy what you have. Don’t be greedy.

you can carry x amount of weight on your person an y amount in outstretched arms. fill two buckets of water keep your arms to the side how long can you do that, now hold the same buckets in front of you.
as to dreg i have said repeatedly the stinger is both a limited non tech tree weapon. second its fake the mag is a cut down box of amm meaning 100 to 125 rounds max not 200, the game is wrong. i also told the weeboo he could have it as an even not a tech tree. germany does not get to have a tech tree gun with two and a half times the ammo of everyone else, especial not when it can terrorize brs 5 4 and 3.
Your excuses are only for Germany, explain to me how it can carry all this weight plus the other equipment
The bots pathfinding on the new map is really jank right now. They tend to get stuck in buildings where rallies are placed and they end up running into the walls when they spawn in said buildings unable to leave. This mostly happened in this room in particular, but based on other AI built rallies it seemed to be a persistent issue. This ended up causing our team to lose the match as the AI players kept getting stuck in indoor built rallies.

During World War II, a standard combat load for a soldier typically weighed between 60 to 80 pounds depending on the specific equipment and situation, with some sources mentioning loads reaching up to 100 pounds in intense combat scenarios like the Normandy landings.
Hello! Thanks for letting us know, we know there are a few examples here. We’ve forwarded this to developers.
I had a feeling players would love it. 
Another small issue here, not only can I not start custom battles on the test server (which is ok), but my gold from the main game was not transferred to the test server.
So I cant use it for accelerated researching new things.
Can this be fixed?
Well, carry 6 chargers of 100 bullets, plus the First Aid Kit Equipment, Grenades, TNT charge, Cantinflora, Pistol And to that is added the Equipment you choose in the box.From Parachutist who increased the weight carried Don’t just mention what suits you
Doesn’t feel like it has any AP in the belt to me.
i especially love that mystical ambience in the temples and other sacred places, those parts feel like completely different game… It just feels so peaceful even when there is an artillery barrage “next door”.
Hey major can you guys change the name of meunier a6 to meunier a6 carbine ,
This is the rifle you guys base the gun on its meunier a6 carbine or 1916 meunier carbine
While the image below is meunier a6 you can see the difference between two rifles it would be very much appreciated(Fun thing in editor it is named correctly)
And also while not released , yet I can sence that you guys will make mistake MKB 42(M) that is in files fires DWM ammo either it should be named “MKB 42(M) early” or “MKB 42(M)(DWM)” since it was the pre-war prototype that used that ammo and trial variant was used with polte ammo(Polte ammo is the 8mm kurz)
The weight of a World War II parachute depended on the type of parachute:
T-10D: The main parachute had a diameter of 35 feet and weighed 31 pounds.
T-11: The main parachute, harness, and pack tray weighed 36.8 pounds. The reserve chute added another 15 pounds.
MC1: The complete assembly weighed 29 pounds.

Paratroopers also carried a significant amount of equipment, typically around 70 pounds for enlisted men and 90 pounds for officers. When including the weight of the parachute, paratroopers weighed between 90 and 120 pounds more than their body weight
7.92×57mm Mauser - Wikipedia x 600 x2 = 26 pounds
mg42 x 2 50 lbs 6 hand grenades 9 lbs =85 = 45 = 130 so a tad over the 120lbs a paratrooper carried so sue darkflow for a 8% error
26 pounds is 13lb for 600 rounds and 13 pounds for the belts, don’t challenge me on realism
Guys take the belt begging to a seperate thread maybe, you’ve made ur sacrificial complaints to Göring’s skull about lack of quarter thousand rounds and they’ve been noted.
