The FG42 will be in .62 i belive. It's on the list of 5 or so new handweapons.

How about a PPS43? The stamped metal SMG that was even more prevalent then the PPsH41? It had a 30 round box mag, same ammo.. slightly lower ROF. It was common in 43-45, developed because the PPsH was very expensive and complicated to make.

Cool facts about the FG42!

-Only 4000 were made!
-Due to its small size, it had a very powerfull recoil.
-It was a Support Gun, yup, like the BAR! The MG42 also had a 4x scope. So did the 34.
-The reason why only 4000 were made were, MG42!
-20 Round Clip.

Having said that... It is my humble oppinion that.

1. Bar and weapons like Bar such as Bren and this FG42, act like support/assault rifles. The Bren had no recoil, due to its design, but the Bar did pack a light punch. The FG42 was a monster. But it is in my oppinion that these weapons should act like SMG's to a degree. Higher recoil but they shouldnt have a 5 hour wait for crosshairs to settle.

2. Add the 30CalM3, bipod version, into the arsenal. A nice counter balance idea.

Yeah I'd like to see a scoped MG42/34. That would be the ultimate ownage.

I think the Scoped STG44 is a little bit lame. The non-zoomed crosshairs should be there still, given that it has a weak zoom and only 3 clips, along with crazy recoil.

I have suggested that as well Brens,Bars,Type 99s, etc should act like the AK 47 in CS (pardon me for the comparison). They should be useable in close quarters but a good submachinegunner could still side step them.


Ohioan the PPS42/43 used a 35 round box magazine (contrary to popular belif it was not interchangable with the PPsh 41s 35 round magazine) production at least IMO warrants its creation. PPsh 41 was not that difficult to produce but the PPs 43 was cheaper.

Also stop bitching about the PPsh 41 it was better than the MP 40 no matter how you slice it or dice. It was a prized war trophey in German hands and with good reason.
