Denix MG34 Replika

Dummy replica of a German machine gun (Maschinengewehr 34), in metal, wood and plastic with its mobile bipod, created in 1934 and in service from 1936 to 1956. The MG 34 was designed by Heinrich Vollmer of the Mauserwerke, which was based on a model by Louis Stange of Rheinmetall, a company in Solothurn, Switzerland in the 1930s. The MG 34 is a German recoil-reloading, air-cooled machine gun. It is considered to be the best machine gun of the time (light, easy with its bipod, high firing capacity). The MG 34 can use drum magazines of 50 to 75 rounds, as well as bands of ammunition of 50 to 250 rounds. The caliber of this machine gun is 7.92 x 57 Mauser, its effective range in combat could increase to 1200 m and from 3000 to 3500 m on tripod. Reproduction of a heavy machine gun, made of metal, wood and plastic, with its mechanism of functionality of simulating fire loading and movable bipod. The MG 34 (Maschinengewehr 34) is a German recoil reloading and air-cooled machine gun, created in 1934. It is considered the best machine gun of the time (light, easy to use with its bipod, incidentally it can be loaded on a tripod). It has a high firing capacity. It was in service from 1936 to 1956.

The caliber of the latter is 7.92 x 57 Mauser, its effective range in combat could increase to 1200 m and from 3000 to 3500 m on a tripod. With a rate of fire of 800 to 900 rounds per minute, it was far superior to the British (Bren) or American (Browning) machine guns which did not exceed 600 rounds per minute. Germany had succeeded in making what was to become possibly the best machine gun of WWII. All the army corps used it, mainly by the infantry and with certain modifications for the air force, as well as the armored cavalry. Due to their high cost and their laborious and careful manufacturing, only 350,000 units were manufactured. Even today, many countries are developing and using machine guns based on the basic configuration of the MG 34. Make a part of history your own with this historical reproduction from Denix! ...
