MG 34

The MG34 is a German machine gun designed by Louis Stange at Rheintmall in 1934. It fired 7.92x57mm Mauser rounds at a blistering rate of around 850 rounds. It was often mounted on to vehicles, such as when German tanks would use them as co-axial machine guns, or also used as anti-air guns due to their extremely high rate of fire. Soviet and French forces captured many during World War II, and as such, many found their way into use by North Vietnamese forces.
