  Det misslyckade FG42 projektet
Dessa FG.42 kallas ofta för den tidiga modellen.
Här ser vi vapnet FG42 isärtaget fältmässigt i sina huvudsakliga delar.
FG42 var en föregångare till många västerländska automatkarbiner, men var alltså omöjlig att hantera när det gäller att skjuta helautomatisk eld och vapnet kunde i realiteten endast användas som ett halvautomatiskt gevär.

The FG42 had a 20, or sometimes 10, round magazine that was mounted on the left side of the rifle.
The FG42 fired in semi-automatic mode from a closed bolt; the short lock-time, and little movement in the action during firing meant greater accuracy.
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.

Once an agreement was made, David and Estes worked on the development of the project and the prototypes were completed.
The plans and a prototype were submitted to the ATF for what became a lengthily approval process.
It has taken a great deal of time and money to locate and contract with various machine shops all over the world with the "know how" to manufacture this unique firearm but we feel our semi auto FG42s will be THE standard which all other reproduction firearms will be measured by in the future.

The FG42 filled a missing niche in the Nazi arsenal and was somewhat well-received by the paratroopers when tested, but it did have its drawbacks.
On account of its shorter barrel, the FG42 was found to be less powerful, have a shorter range, and produce more flame than most other light automatic rifles firing the standard-issue 7.92 x 57 mm Mauser.
The FG42 also incorporated a design feature that came as a mixed blessing to field troops: when fired in semi-automatic mode, it fired from a traditional closed-bolt position, though on full-auto it fired from an open bolt.

Personally, I've always thought that it was easier to weild than a BAR since its ROF somehow stabilizes it in full-auto, but it's just been so much easier since 1.2.

Bar is fine and the fg42 is fine, they are both realistic and balanced.
The FG42 is the funniest weapon in the game, it´s totally uncontrollable and fires in such a rapid rate that all bullets are emptied in no time, but still it´s something about it.
your spawn should be to your right, then standing or crouching (unzoomed if you're using the scoped fg42) fire single shots into the same spot on the doorway and empty the whole clip.

The first-model FG42 became available to Luftwaffe paratroopers in 1942, and this was followed by the FG42/II in 1943.
Only about 7000 FG42 rifles were produced in each of its versions, and the weapon never saw widespread service even with the special units for which it was designed.
The FG42 was considered too expensive to manufacture for its limited role as a paratrooper weapon, especially after the cessation of large-scale airborne operations following the Battle of Crete.

The FG42 replica model has been well-accepted even by real-gun collectors because of its rareness.” Many in the WW2 reenactment community are also looking towards using airsoft replica guns, and Tomio would like to cater to this demand.

 Historic Firearm of the Month, October 2000
Despite this official selection, the FG42 design was never "set in stone." The Luftwaffe's requirements were in a continual state of flux, and there were a constant series of remedial changes to the original design.
The FG42 is a magazine fed, gas operated, turning bolt design that traces its lineage back to the Lewis light machinegun of World War One, and its descendants to the U.S. M60 general purpose machinegun.
The FG42, despite being produced in limited numbers, was one of the most influential firearms of the Second World War.

Pierwsza partia FG42 (oznaczanych w literaturze jako FG42 Model 1 lub FG42/1) (50 sztuk) powstała na początku 1943 roku.
W wyniku prób dokonano zmian w konstrukcji karabinu (ta wersja jest oznaczana jako FG42 Model 2 lub FG42/2) i rozpoczęto produkcję w zakładach Krieghoffa (właścicielem tych zakładów był Göring).
Ciagłe kłopoty z FG42 spowodowały, że w styczniu 1944 roku HWA zaproponował dowództwu spadochroniarzy zakończenie programu FG42 w zamian za pierwszeństwo w dostawach MP43 (wczesna wersja StG44).

Yksi toisen maailmansodan kehittyneimmistä aseista, FG42, suunniteltiin saksalaisen laskuvarjojääkärin käyttöön, toisin sanoen maahanlaskuhyökkäykseen.
Testien perusteella, jotka tehtiin ilmavoimien asekehitysosastolla Tarnewitzissä vuoden 1942 puolivälissä, valittiin Rheinmetallin valmistama ase tuotantoon ja se hyväksyttiin Luftwaffessa nimellä Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 eli laskuvarjojääkärikivääri malli 42 (FG42).
FG42 olikin lukuisten muutosten ja testien kohde sekä Luftwaffella että armeijalla.

 FG42 type2
The Fallschirmjagergewehr 42 (FG42), or Paratrooper Rifle Model 1942, was one of the most advanced weapons to see service during the Second World War.
The FG42 was designed by Rheinmettal-Borsig for the Luftwaffe and introduced a number of features which were later copied on other firearms (most notably the U.S. machinegun).
By firing from a closed bolt in semiautomatic mode and an open bolt in full automatic mode, it combined the best of both a rifle and a light machinegun.

The FG42 was designed by Rheinmettal-Borsig for the Luftwaffe and introduced a number of features which were later copied on other firearms (most notably the U.S. M60 machinegun).
The bayonet was also built in and could be stored beneath the bipod, it's weight effectively helping to reduce muzzle climb.
Early versions of the FG42 were produced with a steel buttstock and a severely angled pistol grip (as shown above), while the later models had wooden furniture and a more traditional pistol grip, as well as an improved muzzle brake.

Please do not tell me I should have been more cautious, I know that, it is very embarrassing to admit that I have been conned, but the FG42 is the one firearm in the world that I would “stick my neck out for”, and I did.
I don't like the idea of someone, say in law enforcement, being able to get a, say, fg42, for a mere fantasy of $5000 when the rest of us cannot, and that goes for Class III manufacturer too.

This semi automatic/automatic weapon utilised the "gases" that are produced when a cartridge is fired to help re-cock the weapon.
Such weapons have the advantage of being lighter to operate, however if the gas chamber was allowed to block with debris then the weapon could fail.
On the FG42 the chamber is below the main barrel.
