German MGs which had no original ideas and haven’t been imitated by anyone but Germany. Keep dreaming.
NO. This tech is still used.
As opposed to copying WWI technology in a new gun like Germany did with the MG34?
It’s not special. Grow up.
So what did they copy? Which country? Present something
All of it.
Stocks weren’t new technology. Belts weren’t new technology. Barrel changes weren’t new technology. The action wasn’t new technology.
The combination of weight, barrel change ability, flexibility and implementation all were. It caused a massive shift in MGs even into today.
Again, that’s just modernization which literally everyone else was doing.
In 90% of cases item that uses new shiny tech isn’t great. Normal early stage spoblems that are fixed by further development.
So using new tech =/= succes.
It was new tech in the 1890s, not the 30s
So again show me an example that did what the MG34 earlier than 1934
Yup, maxims, vickers, brens, hotchkisses… all brand new khe khe where did this dust come from?
But I have to admitt that US had good MGs.
M1919. Again.
So what?
There is no connection between being new and being good.
You’re listing actual 1890s guns
Wrong.
Then leave.
Why?
You said it’s not your problem so you have nothing to do here but whine.
That’s not true
M1919 was too heavy and clumsy to be used on the move plus it had no trade-off’s for that
BAR was to light to be an MG
DP-27 had reloading problems
DSHK and M2 were too heavy
Wickers, Maxim and M1917 were also too heavy without any trade-off’s plus they required water cooling
Bren was too light to be an MG
