,no edit summary
**MG42 has quick barrel swap mechanism, which located at the right heat shield shroud is very helpful during the war. However due the very fast of rate of fire the barrel are tend to glowing hot, which very dangerous to replace with bare hands; The gunner was issued with asbestos gloves to prevent hand from burning when replacing barrel. The gunner also could insert the shell brass in the barrel hole and pulling it out, or shake it until it gets out if they aren't have the gloves.
***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>
*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 stoppagesduring 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>
*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.
