1:72 German MG-34 machine-gun with crew 1941-1945 (winter) - 3 figures - snap-fit
German general-purpose machinegun MG-34 was designed by Rheinmetall AG company and was accepted for army service in 1934. It was the first general-purpose machinegun: it could be mounted on a bipod and be operated by a mobile soldier or mounted either on a tripod to fire at both ground and air units, or on tanks and other vehicles. This versatility combined with high battle characteristics led to its longevity - it was produced up to 1945 and became the basic machinegun type of Wehrmacht.
The machinegun could either be belt-fed or magazine-fed; it could fire up to 1700 shots in a minute. The problem with overheating of a barrel was solved by making the barrel removable: while the basic barrel was cooling down, an extra barrel was mounted on the machinegun instead. The crew of a tripod-mounted version was composed of three men.
