Roger that Les. Was it nice and comfortable to wield for you ? I've heard its one the few smallarms that just fits like a glove.
 
I've heard that it was considered heavy for an airborne weapon, but thinking about that the British airborne had the Bren Gun at 10 kg - so wherever I heard that is crap. Was the FG-42 produced in small numbers because of the introduction of the StG.44 ? [Frankly, a better weapon for development].
 
If I owned one I'd treat it the same way ! One valuable piece of equipment there!

Was there a scope on it ?
 
Hands down on the Allied side, it was the OSS/SOE. While the others allied SOF forces had some spectacular successes, they were all just tools in the tool bag for the OSS/SOE which maintained the strategic focus.
