[Weapon] MG3

[Jazz]

So the MEC will use the drum mag? You know that it will only last 2,5 seconds, right?

This all just seems so impractical.

[Bringerof_D]

Its so weird how they still use a weapon that looks so much the WW2 machinegun. you'd think they want to cut away all bonds they might have with that period. But they also still use the black and white crosses so It makes sense they'd use a machine-gun that looks like the WW2 weapon

/not saying any political stuff here to my oppinion. I cant wait to use this ingame and it looks amazing and terefic

because the design for the weapon works, the MG42 could put 3 rounds into you in the area of a quarter before you felt it, and it will put another 30-40 rounds into you before you hit the ground, the only problem was at the speed it broke parts, so the MG3 is just a slightly slower version. also the cross of which you mentioned was not a nazi symbol so its not something they care about. the cross with the white edges has been the symbol of the Wehrmacht for some time.

PEW PEW PEW!!



Why would the MEC use it? Then what would we do with the HK21?

Why would the MEC use it?

They already use German designed weapons (G3) so theoretically it makes sense.

Then what would we do with the HK21?

Fuzzhead answered 3 pages ago:

HK21 I believe is a vanilla asset, and not commonly used so it will probably be dropped. Not to say it wont make a return if someone decides to model it themselves (and improve upon the vanilla model).

The mg3 can also use a heavier bolt to degrease the ROF to 700-800 rpm, so that would be a good compromise for the drum mag, that would mean a long burst of 4s (+ more stability+more accuracy) for the soldier kit version, for vehicles it should be the 1200 rpm variant.

Yeah, and if you miss, you'll be wasting a lot of ammo, so lower ROF is actually better then a higher ROF.

[STORM-Mama]

Higher ROF is better for suppressing targets, which is the purpose of a machinegun. A burst from a MG3 will sure as hell be able to pin a whole squad.

[Gore]

Oh man. Can't wait to hear the sound of that cozy sprayer.

[Amok@ndy]

the optimal shooting distance (told in the German Army) is 200m for the MG3 up to 700 m then it will become really hard to hit sth

so the MEC AR will have to get a good position on a roof and supports the squad by supressing the enemy squad and keep their heads down so that the MEC sq can attack the enemys from a flank

[Zoddom]

will it have some optics? because i thought every MG will have his 3x Zoom in the future of pr?
what kind of scope can you use ?
(never saw some scope on it or even that weaver rail)

Lower ROF is better; better control on ammo consumption and gives you a wider area of suppression per round fired.

But the fear factor is gone

Aha ok so MEC gets the light bolt and norway will use the heavy one with the box magazine?
But im really curious about the scope.
This one, Elcan like the Danes or something else?

Oh and will there be an extra version for bob?

[Qaiex]

That is indeed quite awesome.

[Rudd]

its like an m4 and an mg3 had a baby with railz being the stepdad.

[Kaijleor]

Its F-ing rude tu put a M16 mag in to the mg3s ejecting slot (an american mag in to a german...), like puting a spoon in to your A-hole

Just kidding

Hey if anyone have a problem with the mg3 firing standing watch Jih - Roh

Tonight Im drunk, tomorrow is my best friends wedding, Im his best man so... and his future wife wanted to me to f... but I didnt ... tomorrow is f-ing complicated, I even wrote a poem for the celebration (his mother wanted it), tonight I need to drink...

[Conman51]

does the german army put MG3s on choopers? just wondering..would be bad ***

[Amok@ndy]

looks like you killed your soft guns and use super glue xD

[Snazz]

Not sure how accurate it would be to fire an MG3 from your shoulder, here's a different approach:


^ 'M56 Smart Gun' from the movie Aliens, basically an MG42 with motorbike parts and a stabilizer mount.

heheh awesome movie, and not at all is firing an MG42 standing fictional, german troops on the move did it all the time, the muzzle brake allowed this with its design

unnecessary, just get a sling and hold it by the bipod.
