Description[]

The MG-42, or the Maschinengewehr 42, is a 7.92 mm universal machine gun that was developed in Nazi Germany and entered service with the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS starting in 1942. It supplemented and in some instances replaced the MG-34 general purpose machine gun in all branches of the German military, though both weapons were manufactured and used until the end of World War II.

Trivia[]

  • The name of the weapon is shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 42, or "machine gun 42".
  • The mission "The Buzzsaw" is a reference to the weapon's nickname, Hitler's Buzzsaw.
  • The pinup that unlocks after Chapter 5 depicts a woman posing with the MG-42.
  • The unused inventory HUD icon and data in game files indicates that the MG-42 was originally supposed to become available as an LMG carried by the player late in the game. It is unknown why this was cut.
