    Bren gun was a more effective weapon than the MG42 imo. No as glamorous but more effective definitely.

    Best weapon of the war has to be the T-34-85 though

    Saving private Ryan a great film the mg42 was the best machine gun they used to call it the zipper it sounded like a cloth ripping best ww2 machine gun not a popular opinion but the germans are great techicians with motors and that also this weapon .Still though not as good as the little armalite lol.This scene is the mg42 that the allies walked into on Omaha beach .
