Everyone has heard of the formidable German assault rifle, the G36—the successor to the reliable G3. Both are Heckler & Koch products.

One of their best was the MG 42 Machinegehwer. A machine gun with a rate of fire at 1,000 rounds a minute. It’s still in use.

I tend to be on the lean side when it comes to how I’m built.

Like you, I smile when shoot it, but I sure as hell feel it the next day with a sore shoulder. LOL

It can't be bad. Tom Cruise used it to shoot down a drone.

(do I really need to add a sarcasm tag?)
