    "MG3 vs MG5" video

    I don't speak German, but I get the jist that the MG5 is seen as superior on all counts?

    Kind of what I got from it.

    I wasn’t a machine gunner (0331) but I kind of dig that tripod mount with the periscope optic.

    Pretty sure that goes all the way back to the MG42 in WWII.
    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.

    Looks like they learned more than a few things from FN as well. And obviously that was done when HK developed the MG43.

    I was...0351/0331...and that periscope is brilliant.
    The obedient always think of themselves as virtuous rather than the cowards they really are.

    Yeah 0351 here, got cross trained as an 0331 and as an 0341 because Dragon missiles and Javelins were super expensive. You know how that goes... 51’s today you’re hanging out with heavy guns or mortars and learning new things...
