Hey all! Long time since I played RO now but finally had the presence of mind to get RO2. Had to make a new account on this forum since the old one got deleted (I think) and I'm struggling with not being able to post instantly. :P Anyway, I'm 36 years old and have had a keen interest in WW2...

Our training MG-3s from the 60ies aren't that different from the MG42, sorry to say. Basically the same weapon with slightly different caliber. Extremely effective when hip fired. Very controllable.

It seems like YOU never saw or fired that gun in real life. I have fired tens of thousands of rounds with the MG3 (more or less the same weapon) and after the initial 3 months of recruit school I used it standing, walking, crouching and even fired it from the shoulder like you would a rifle. Hip...
