>How do we make the MG 42 better?
by fielding it

for real though- shorten the barrel a little and use aluminum wherever possible to save weight.

Weld a ris rail on the top cover.

I dont get why they havent done this yet.

Remove AA sight ...

Maybe sumthn like the m240 barrel change system.

Better slingmounts

Single shot capabilities.

Are you fucking retarded? How do you not know about the MG3?

>>30387865
That one is for patrols, they still use the MG3 on mounts and defensive positions.

>>30387564
Redesign it for .50BMG, the new standard squad-level calibre.

Redesign it for .22 LR, the new standard squad-level calibre.

Barrel change is fine, except you have to wear an asbestos glove. Also it's a bit difficult if you're prone and have it at the ready.
