HKfags tell me the HK21 is superior to the FN Mag, mainly for weight savings. They tell me other capabilities are similar except being a little more picky with ammo.
So is it actually worth getting semi Hk21 vs a semi m240?

>semi
It isn't worth getting either.
>HKfags tell me the HK21 is superior to the FN Mag, mainly for weight savings.
I doubt that. The M240 is as heavy as it is because its overbuilt, meaning it will keep firing for decades. Plus while roller delayed blowback makes for quite accurate weapons, its also very violent compared to gas operated guns. This is an irrelevance for a G3, but I wouldn't be surprised if older HK21s get stress fractures in the receivers.

It isn't worth getting a semi auto belt-fed at all.
>So is it actually worth getting semi Hk21 vs a semi m240?
Jesus Christmas anon no, don't get either. I have a massive bone for the M249S but you can get a PTR and a shitload of drums and it won't make you feel like you have less gun.

Are there even semi auto HK21s?
>>33963402
Yes but I cant justify the price for one. I was looking at them but I bought a DShK instead.
>why didnt the HK21 catch on more?
Seems like a good platform, although I have heard the receivers have a tendency to crack.

I rather get a semi auto Cetme Ameli than lug that heavy and bulky momma around
>>33963402
Michael's Machines out of Illinois was making semi-auto HK21s. As the other posters mentioned, they cost a small fortune.
The heavy barreled PTR FR model is probably the best substitute.

>bought a DsHK
Wut?
>>33963864
yeah srsly where the fuck can you find a dshk
PKM is the best general purpose machine gun, prove me wrong
>>33963494
>Cetme Ameli
So the HK21 with new furniture
>>33964045
Hk23 rather in 5.56

That anon actually bought a DShK and unboxed it on /k/. Converted it to .50BMG. I think I was last year, and I believe there's a greentext somewhere, but I don't have it. I remember something about him living in Alaska or somewhere. It was unloaded out of the back of a moving truck.
>>33963904
the PKP you mean. I can't prove you wrong though, it is the best.
>>33963864
>>33963885
They probably have semi parts kits that get imported.

Ameli is MG42 based MG, HK21 is G3 based.
>>33963001

>>33964396

"The Ameli, while being externally similar to the german MG3, internally much closer to CETME Mod. L asault rifle (or Heckler & Koch HK-21 machine gun),"
>>33964495
~11k on gunbroker
