Ok so why does the mg-13 have the model of the mg 42 when the m g -13 looks like this

this might be my confusion but I have never seen an mg-13 that looks like an mg 42
mg42 for comparison :
They just havent finished the model for it yet, so they just use the mg42 instead.

it’s a placeholder, just like with a lot of other weapons.
Its placeholder, which also explains its RoF being so much higher than it should iirc.
Just like maxim tokarev, it doesn’t have a proper model yet, instead it uses dp 27 as a placeholder for it
