***In addition, the rate of fire it produced will eat up ammo in rapid succession, which considered wasteful. Later post-WWII Yugoslav M53 which was an exact copy of MG42 reduced the rate of fire to 950 RPM.<ref>[https://www.quora.com/Is-the-MG42-effective-or-is-it-just-a-waste-of-ammunition MG42 fire rate disadvantage in quora]</ref> | ***In addition, the rate of fire it produced will eat up ammo in rapid succession, which considered wasteful.

*U.S had reverse-engineered MG42 and replacing the barrel which designed for 7.62 springfield(.30.06) known as T24 Machine Gun. In order to meet U.S cyclic rate requirements, heavy bolts was installed to reduce rate of fire for better control and accuracy. However the design engineer made an error where the 7.92x56mm Mauser caliber was shorter than .30.06 Springfield(7.62x63mm), resulting of continuous stoppages during field test. The project of T24 was abandoned after considering too much effort and times to redesign it.<ref>[https://www.forgottenweapons.com/light-machine-guns/us-t24-machine-gun-mg42/ US Copy of MG42]</ref> | *U.S had reverse-engineered MG42 and replacing the barrel which designed for 7.62 springfield(.30.06) known as T24 Machine Gun.

*Near the end of war, Grossfuss designed MG45 which derived from MG42. Unlike the predecessor, MG45 designed with low-grade material due the low amount of resource to manufacture more MG42. MG45 beats all German Machine Gun in term of Rate of Fire, while shares same RoF with ShKAS Aircraft Machine Gun, 1.800 RPM. Interestingly, MG45 able to accept 75-round Patronentrommel which used by MG34. | *Near the end of war, Grossfuss designed MG45 which derived from MG42. However, due the quality of the material to manufacture, MG45 is also extremely prone from overheating and other kind of malfunction over MG42 does. Unlike the predecessor, MG45 designed with low-grade material due the low amount of resource to manufacture more MG42. MG45 beats all German Machine Gun in term of Rate of Fire, while shares same RoF with ShKAS Aircraft Machine Gun, 1.800 RPM. However, combined with low-grade material and very high Rate of Fire, MG45 is extremely prone to overheating which can damage the component or even severely breaking it. Interestingly, MG45 able to accept 75-round Patronentrommel which used by MG34. | ||

*In her game CG, there's no ammo belt or Magazine(Gurttrommel) inserted in her gun. However, in chibi CG sprite, she used 50-round Gurttrommel Magazine when reloading. | *In her game CG, there's no ammo belt or Magazine(Gurttrommel) inserted in her gun.
