German MG42 Machine Gun- 7.92 cal- deactivated (product code DFA011)
The MG 42 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 42, or “machine gun 42”) is a German recoil-operated air-cooled general-purpose machine gun used extensively by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS during the second half of World War II. Entering production in 1942, it was intended to supplement and replace the earlier MG 34, which was more expensive and took much longer to produce, but both weapons were produced until the end of World War II.
Description
This is a genuine military relic. It has been deactivated and therefore can be supplied for film or theatre contracts as a prop hire and will not require an armourer to be on set. We can also supply inert ammunition belts, ammunition tins and bipods for this machine gun.
