I Want One - New German .30 Machine Gun
The New German Machine Gun
Very impressive and stable platform. It can be fired from virtually any position including standing. Water apparently doesn't affect it at all.
Virtually no muzzle rise with a 7.62 round. Noticed almost no recoil as well.
I would sure hate to be "down range" facing these weapons.
I am astounded at the ease in changing the barrels as well as the very low recoil forces it has.

Very impressive , they don't change their ideas on overall concept of design ideas much , do they , a tried and tested design just keeps on going .

As the successor of the MG3, The HK121 opens a new era of universal belt fed 7.62 mm x 51 machine guns. Compared to others, the gas operated HK121 offers an intelligent and contemporary build standard, with numerous technical and ergonomic innovations. The mounting interface of the HK121 is compatible with MG3 mounts and tripods already in service. The universal HK121 can be used by dismounted infantry in the ground role, as well as for air defence or as a vehicle mounted/co axial machine gun

Still looks a lot like a M60 from Vietnam and firing the same ammo. But the Germans have softened the recoil considerably over the old jackhammer effect of the M60..

We always thought that the M60 was a de-refinement of the German MG42.Niner wrote:Still looks a lot like a M60 from Vietnam and firing the same ammo. But the Germans have softened the recoil considerably over the old jackhammer effect of the M60..
