R:WW2 MG 42 (for M60)

Maschinengewehr 42 from Raid: World War II

A cheaper alternative to the MG 34, this infamous German GPMG had earned its "Hitler's Buzzsaw" nickname for the telltale report it makes thanks to its impressive rate of fire. Its practical rate of fire was also helped by its quick-change barrel system. It was so effective in fact, that it often (allegedly) drove its operators mad, especially when opposing a literal rush of Soviet soldiers. Even today, the 7.62 NATO version of this venerable machine gun is used by several countries.


Not much to say about this one, except mentioning that this is the same model as the "Buzzsaw 42" in Payday 2 Historical DLC as it's made by the same developers, except with a different texture. And maybe ranting how some game devs don't bother modeling realistic machine gun belts and opting to magnetize a bunch of bullets together, so I had to mimic the links between the rounds. And being apparently afraid to show that general purpose (medium) machine guns had BIG bullets to hit enemies with, so I had to enlarge them. I haven't found whichever texture Raid bullet model uses, but the texture from PD2 M249 model fit it. The sounds easily were the trickiest part, but I managed to find them and use the entire set of M60 TLS sounds without resorting to good ol' unused's like Axe.Break and Pistol_Silver.Fire.
