Squeaky 135 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Well .... I'd at least like to know how to get one of these periscopes. I had no idea the Germans are still using what's essentially an MG-42. I noticed they're even changing barrels the same way. It's a great gun, but I'm glad I'm not on the receiving end of one of these. Does anyone know the caliber? Are they using 7.62 NATO? Something about this gun makes me respect German engineering.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 If it's current production, it's 7.62 x 51 NATO. The belt looks like it is M13 link. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squeaky 135 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sure fires fast. Maybe Brownell's will make a repro! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patriot 7,197 Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Yep. Still using WWII technology. Go with what works until you make something better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scoutjoe 276 Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I've used one of those trench scopes. He had it for a mounted 1919, amazing how accurate it was . Zeiss made it, so it was clear as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
