The best SOF of WW2

[lesofprimus]

Pretty sure it was Version 3 Soren... I watched the clips u posted, and it fires every bit like those vids.... U need the tripod for sustained autofire....

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].

 

[lesofprimus]

The fit was right on Soren, very comfortable.... The armorer that pulled it out treated it as if it was his newborn child....

 

[Soren]

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.

 

[lesofprimus]

No scope Soren, but if I remember correctly, the armorer said that there used to be one but it broke...

 

[Soren]

Roger that Les. Wish it was me who owned one

 

[lesofprimus]

I totally agree, but I would assume that the private stock for the FG-42 is quite limited...
