Fg42

What is Fg42?


1.

FG42 (Fallschirmjägergewehr 42)

The FG42 was produced for the Luftwaffe paratroops and appeared in Italy and France. The magazine fed from the left side and it had a bipod and integral bayonet. This was a remarkable weapon, being designed to replace the rifle, machine gun in the light role and the sub-machine gun.

It has been reported that only 5000 were produced and it is surprising that the Germans did not make more of them. Some have a wooden butt, whilst others have butts of stamped steel.

High recoil, but a damn powerful round and high rate of fire made it vicous at close range.
