    Its a German machine gun, MG (insert number here as I cant remember it). Fairly popular and reliable and was even used by Australian troops for awhile.

    German MG3 originally the WW2 MG42, 7.92mm calibre machine gun.One of the most feared machine guns from WW2 by allied troops due to its high rate of firepower. In use with the 'Bundeswehr' from the 1950s till present day, now recalibrated to 7.62mm.


    I hope this piece of worthless information has been of some use to somenone out there.....

    The Pope mobile would probably pack a wee bit more firepower...
