He grinds the enemy with 900 shots per minute. FG-42 Performance and Specifications

Image
 The FG-42 (Fallschirmjägergewehr 42) was a selective-fire, gas-operated automatic rifle that was developed by Germany during the Second World War. The weapon was specifically designed for the Fallschirmjäger (paratroopers), who required a lightweight firearm that could be easily transported during airborne operations. Development of the FG-42 began in 1938, with the goal of creating a rifle that combined the accuracy and power of a standard rifle with the firepower of a light machine gun. The weapon was designed by Louis Stange and began field trials in 1941. The first production models were issued to German paratroopers in 1943 and saw extensive use throughout the remainder of the war. One of the unique features of the FG-42 was its detachable box magazine, which held 20 rounds of 7.92×57mm Mauser ammunition. The magazine could be easily removed and replaced, allowing the shooter to quickly switch between ammunition types or reload the weapon during combat. The FG-42 also feature...

 The MG-42 is a German general-purpose machine gun that was developed during World War II. It was designed to be a highly effective weapon that could provide sustained and accurate firepower over long distances. The MG-42 was introduced in 1942 and quickly became one of the most feared weapons on the battlefield. It was used extensively by German troops in World War II and continued to be used by various countries well into the 21st century. History: The development of the MG-42 can be traced back to the MG-34, which was the primary machine gun used by the German military in the early years of World War II. The MG-34 was an excellent weapon, but it was complicated to manufacture and required a high degree of precision. The German military wanted a machine gun that could be produced quickly and in large quantities. As a result, the MG-42 was designed to be a simpler and more cost-effective version of the MG-34. The MG-42 was designed by Heinrich Vollmer, who was a senior engineer at...

Performance and specifications of a machine gun GAU-8A Avenger that melts tanks with 4,200 rounds of uranium bullets per minute

Image
 The GAU-8/A Avenger is a seven-barrel Gatling-style machine gun that is primarily used by the United States Air Force's A-10 Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft. Developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the GAU-8/A has become one of the most iconic and effective aircraft-mounted weapons systems in history. The development of the GAU-8/A Avenger began in the late 1960s when the United States Air Force began to search for a replacement for its aging GAU-4 7.62mm machine gun, which was mounted on the A-1 Skyraider and A-37 Dragonfly aircraft. The new gun was intended to be used on the A-10 Thunderbolt II, a ground-attack aircraft that was specifically designed to provide close air support to ground troops. The development of the GAU-8/A Avenger was entrusted to General Electric, who had previously developed the M61 Vulcan cannon, another Gatling-style machine gun that was used by the United States Air Force on its F-4 Phantom, F-15 Eagle, and F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter aircra...
