MG-34 - the German heavy machine gun - 3D printing

Maschinengewehr 34, MG 34 - German machine gun, started production and approved in 1934. and was first supplied to army units in 1935. It was an air-cooled machine gun, firing 7.92x57mm Mauser rounds. This weapon was designed to perform both light and heavy roles, and is therefore considered one of the first universal machine guns. In the role of a light machine gun, it was complete with a bipod and a 50-round magazine, housed in a drum magazine, attached to the bow. In the role of a heavier machine gun, it was mounted on a larger tripod and fed directly from a round belt. In practice, the Army relied mostly on the bipod version of the magazine ammunition and used the MG 34 as the classic medium support weapon of the Army.
