It makes you wonder if the war would have lasted longer what other designs the nazi's would have come out with.

Sure it did, but not by our hands.
And, I would wonder how the MG 42 would do in the jungles. Maybe just fine, but I don't know.
There was a very good book written, back in the 60's IIRC, entitled "The Jungle is Neutral".
Maybe they were using MG 42's but I don't recall. Haven't seen that book in decades.

That was really cool. Thank you.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

Not to be unpatriotic, but I would have preferred the MP-38/40 and MG-42 to any of their Allied equivalents fielded at the time -- and lest we forget, once the StG-44 showed up, we had no equivalents to offer.

Seen it before and I completely agree with AC. But you are trying to make the guys feel good about their chances of survival and the equipment they use.
The M1 Thompson weighed as much as a Garand and the M1919 was nothing to write home about. The Germans had many advantages in the field of small arms (which makes their primary use of the K98 damned ironic).
I think my favorite would be the MP41 as far as SMGs go.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
