Overview
The MG42 is a Machine Gun added during the 22/03/11 Content Update.

Statswise, this MG is very similar to the K3, but it appears to have less portability and a one point advantage in damage. However, it also has a combination of a high rank-requirement and some hefty recoil (which equals less accuracy), making it less valuable in the eyes of many players.

Trivia

 * It actually has an even faster firing rate than the K3 series (in game), so this is the best "spray and pray" gun to date.
 * Although the recoil is bad, the spread is not, which makes this MG possibly better than the K3 series (as long as the recoil is controlled).
 * The MG42 lacks a box magazine, which means the bullets simply appear out of nowhere beneath the screen and travel along the crooked ammo belt into the gun similar to the M60 series.
 * In the real world, the MG42 was a WWII era machine gun used by Nazi Germany and was also the primary MG as well. Allied soldiers on the battlefield were often terrified of the weapon and even nicknamed it "The Buzzsaw" due to its high fire rate (up to 1,400 BPM), and the sound it made.
 * The MG in MG42 is German for Maschinengewehr, or Machine Gun.
