Superb reproduction of the German MG34 heavy machine gun, in metal, wood and plastic, with its simulated fire-loading mechanism and movable bipod. This version also features a removable anti-aircraft sight and a movable top cover allowing the machine gun to fit an ammunition belt (not included).
The MG 34 (Maschinengewehr 34) was a German recoil-loading, air-cooled machine gun created in 1934 by Heinrich Vollmer of Mauserwerke, based on an existing model by Louis Stange of Rheinmetall, a company based in Solothurn, Switzerland, in the 1930s.
The MG 34 was considered to be the best machine gun of its time (lightweight, easy to operate with its bipod, and could also be used on a tripod). Thanks to its high firing capacity, it remained in service from 1936 to 1956.
