  Wolfenstein Weapons and Realism Add-on.:.
Prototypes were finished in mid-1942; the weapon was officially introduced into service as Fallschimrjägergewehr 42, abbreviated FG 42, at the turn of year 1943/1944 but only for the Luftwaffe since the Heer was looking for a weapon using the new Kurzpatrone (which eventually resulted in the Sturmgewehr 44).
Three easily discernible models of the FG 42 are differentiated: model 1 has a pistol grip that is bent back at an extremely high and odd angle; model 2 is the same as model 1 but the pistol grip is more conventional and pointing down.
The diopter sights range from 100m to 1,500m; all FG 42 could be fitted with scopes and indeed it was often used as a sniper rifle, by the paratroopers.

 FG 42 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 (FG42) was an automatic rifle produced for Germany during World War II.
After approximately 2000 FG 42s had been produced by Krieghoff, supplies of the manganese steel from which the receivers were forged were diverted to other needs; this meant a redesign was required to use stamped sheet metal in its place.
Field reports were also requesting minor improvements, such as: relocating the bipod from the front of the handguard to the muzzle to reduce shot dispersion; changing the pistol grip angle to near vertical; enlarging the handguard and changing the stock from stamped steel to wood to minimize overheating.

 Assault rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rheinmetall-Borsig (some said Krieghoff) presented its FG 42 (Fallschirmjaeger Gewehr 42, sponsored by Hermann Göring) though this was in a different role, and using a heavy 8 × 57 mm (8 mm Mauser) cartridge, which was not an intermediate round.
China in the late 1980's introduced a 5.8 × 42 mm round, with an initial velocity of 930 m/s, 4.26 g bullet and 1,842 J of energy, China claims the new round provides superior performance and lethality to the NATO and modern Soviet intermediate rounds.
In the United States, Remington has developed the 6.8 mm Remington SPC cartridge, which is the same overall length at the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO round but fires a bullet the same caliber as the.270 Winchester hunting cartridge.

 Comunidad Dodera Argentina :: View topic - El mas groso de todos FG 42, paracas only
Por lo que se refiere al funcionamiento, el FG 42 es un arma automática que disfruta de recuperación indirecta de los gases de disparo, recogidos a través de un pequeño orificio colocado en la mitad del cañón, acompañado de un pistón que se encuentra encerrado en el cilindro puesto sobre el cañón.
Precisamente aquí se encontraba el único y verdadero punto débil de la FG 42: un arma intermedia que utilizaba un potente cartucho de fusil.
Parece sin embargo que la Luftwaffe haya rechazado el FG 42 en este calibre, aduciendo como motivación los posibles problemas logísticos y de confusión en la reposición de municiones, aunque mucho más probablemente se trataba de la rivalidad que siempre ha dividido al Ejército y a la Aviación.

The difference is that the scoped Mauser man has traded in his Mauser for an FG 42.
While the FG 42 automatic rifle is a good addition, the FJ troopers tend to have less experence and less morale than the SS.
Other than that, they are a formidable team in combat and the FG 42 will come in handy in the street battles when you get the penetration power the scoped Mausers could not give.

It's nickname was the "Fallshirmjagergewehr 42" or "Paratrooper Rifle 42", which is why people think it was an automatic rifle, but it really wasn't.
They were also mounted on and in vehicles, used in anti-aircraft mounts and this flexibility made it a general pourpose gun.
Both the MG34 and 42 were used this way, and that is why they can be considered together.
