The MG-42 machine gun was developed and put into service in 1942. It was basically based on the use of 7.92mm bullets.
This general-purpose machine gun could be used as a light machine gun if it was equipped with a two-legged stand and 75 rounds of ammunition. It could be used to follow the platoon in battle. If the tripod of the heavy machine gun was used, it would be equipped with a 300-round magazine and could be used as a heavy machine gun as a support weapon for the battalion.
If it was equipped with an armored vehicle, it would be a machine gun mounted on a vehicle, becoming the nightmare of the allied infantry. Its greatest feature was that it was different from the Maxim heavy machine gun, which used the water-cooled cooling method. It was air-cooled like the light machine gun, and the barrel could be quickly changed to maintain the continuity of shooting. It used the same ammunition as the Mauser rifle (7.92× 57mm bullets). It had many epoch-making highlights. For example, it could be used to supply ammunition with a bullet chain, and it could also be equipped with a 75-caliber drum to supply ammunition. It could be used to supply ammunition from both sides with a bullet chain, and it could be used with two guns (it could be used against aircraft). The main parts were easy to load and unload, and the operation was simple. It could be quickly moved (the ability of the machine gun to move quickly was especially important in actual combat). The theoretical firing rate of the gun was 800-900 rounds per minute, and the fastest could reach 1500 rounds per minute, reaching the peak of single-barrel machine guns. They could even break a tree as thick as a bowl, and they had two backup barrels that could be quickly replaced if they overheated. When used as a light machine gun, the effective range was 800 meters. When used as a heavy machine gun, its effective range is 1000 meters.
The MG42 was a weapon that the German army could absolutely trust. It was very reliable in actual combat. Even in the cold of-40 degrees, the MG42 could still maintain a stable shooting speed. Because the MG-42 was an air-cooled machine gun, it could effectively reduce the time needed to change the barrel in cold conditions. Normally, in France, the MG42 would have to change the barrel after firing 300 rounds in a row. In the Soviet Union, this number could be increased to 500 to 600 rounds. Grofoss designed a very simple replacement device. All he had to do was pull a lever and tilt the gun, and the barrel would automatically jump out. He did not need to touch the hot gun with his hands. Changing a gun barrel only took a few seconds.
In the fierce battle between Stalingrador and Moscow, the MG42 did its best to provide firepower support. It used very few materials and could be manufactured through a simple assembly line. The cost was only 70% of the MG34, and the labor and materials used were only 50% of the MG34. Throughout the entire World War II, about 1 million MG 42s were produced. During World War II, the country produced only 1.2 million submachine guns. Such a high production capacity was shocking. It was such an excellent weapon and so easy to make. The word perfect was not an exaggeration to use on it.
The MG42 was the fastest machine gun in World War II (1200 rounds per minute, average 20 rounds per second). It had high reliability and suppression ability. It was very convenient to change the gun barrel. It only took a few seconds.
Disadvantages: The advantage of the MG42 was that it consumed a lot of ammunition. Machine Gunners often used up 125 bullets in 5 seconds. Therefore, the German army had to develop the habit of shooting in order to save ammunition. At the same time, the problem was that the gun barrel would be overheated.
Li Yunhao: " That's great! With this machine gun, the foreign banks will be confident!"”
"Continue with the lottery draw," Li Yunhao replied.
The System said,"Congratulations to the Host for drawing 10 M1 Garand Rifles, equipped with 100,000 bullets." "
M1 Garand Rifle (Official Name: United States Rifle, Caliber.30, M1) was a standard rifle used by the US army during World War II. It was named after its designer, John Canteus Garland. The M1 rifle had a unique way of feeding bullets. A steel leaky magazine that contained two rows of eight bullets was pressed into the magazine from the top of the receiver. When the last bullet was fired, the magazine would be automatically ejected out of the magazine by the clip withdrawing device. It would make a sound to remind the soldier to reload. The M1 Garand Rifle was the first semi-automatic rifle in the history of firearms to be mass-produced and put into service.

Li Yunhao: " That's great! Haha, that's exactly what I want. They're supporting my country's foreign banks. Now I'm even more confident!" It would have been better if he had a pistol and a cannon. This was asking for a beating! System, continue with the lottery draw. Two draws at the same time, haha!”
The wheel continued to spin, and Li Yunhao prayed to the gods in his heart.
System: "Congratulations to the host for drawing 10 QSZ92 semi-automatic pistols and 10 prototype M2 half-tracks. They are equipped with 100,000 bullets (5.8mm caliber). "
The QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol was developed to replace the original Type 54 pistol. The gun was divided into 5.8mm and 9mm caliber. The performance of the Type 92 pistol had been greatly improved compared to the past, with special attention paid to the ergonomical design. Compared to similar pistols from foreign countries, although there was still a gap in craftsmanship and lifespan, it was very suitable for the hand shape of the Chinese.
The QSZ92 semi-automatic pistol system (commonly referred to as the Type 92 pistol) was developed to replace the original Type 54 pistol (modeled after the Soviet Union's T33). The gun was tested in 1987, and in 1994, it was officially approved and handed over to the industrial department for development. In 1998, the design of the 9mm pistol and its bullets was finalized, and in 2000, the design of the 5.8mm pistol and its bullets was finalized.
Type 92 5.8mm pistol and 9mm pistol
Compared to the Type 92 5.8mm handgun, the Type 92 9mm handgun had a larger recoil and lower accuracy. However, the biggest advantage of the Type 92 9mm pistol was that it was a very powerful weapon. The grip was comfortable and naturally had a good sense of direction. The handle is small at the top and large at the bottom. The two sides of the bend between the thumb and index finger are thin and difficult to get rid of.

The design of the M2 half-track was modified by the United States using the Citroen Kégresse half-track, and then assembled by the White Car Company using the body of the M3 reconnaissance vehicle. In 1938, the original White Car Company changed the four-wheeled M3 reconnaissance vehicle to the Timpken half-track and named this model the T7 half-track, but the engine used could not provide enough power for the half-track drive system.
M2-Prototype version, built with the White 160ax engine on the White Half-track. It was the ice-skating version, equipped with the M2 heavy machine gun.
