MG-42 Video

7.92mm

how big is the bullet fired?

No the mg42 never has a runaway problem other guns like the sten had that. And its not a cheap open bolt style, it has a floating firing pin, but no hammer, as the bolt roller bearings locks into the barrel it pushes the firing pin out. ITS FOR FAST RATE OF FIRE.

this vid and this mg is so fucking awesome!

wowo look at the recoil

one time my brother hate me so my dad have like this gun so when he bought it and shoot from it he got thirsty so he went to the kitchen to get water and my brother was playing in the viedo game and then i took the gun and went to my brother room and then i shoot him lol

Thanks!

There is a problem unique to open bolts called the "runaway gun", in which bolt retention fails and the weapon keeps firing even with no trigger input. The MG-42 is an open bolt design (to reduce manufacturing cost).

1:39 - How come that gun kept firing AFTER he released the trigger?

Gimme Shelter - Rolling Stones Nice gun btw :)
