	Machine Guns - Maschinengewehre
		Machine guns derive their limited armor-penetrating capability both from the single bullet's penetration ability and from the effect the repeated hits of bullets in quick succession - as is the case with a machine gun - onto the same spot have on thin steel plates.
		Development of the german machine guns went towards a general purpose machine gun, therewith abandoning the differentiation hitherto between light machine guns carried around by the assaulting infantry and heavy machine guns that were intended as stationary support weapons.
		With the occupation of czechoslovakia in 1939 the germans captured 31,204 machine guns of the types ZB 1926 and ZB 1930, mostly the latter.

		Heavy guns such as the (Click link for more info and facts about Vickers machine gun) Vickers machine gun were joined by many other machine weapons, which mostly had their start in the early (Click link for more info and facts about 20th century) 20th century.
		Machine guns were mounted in aircraft for the first time in (A war between the allies (Russia, France, British Empire, Italy, United States, Japan, Rumania, Serbia, Belgium, Greece, Portugal, Montenegro) and the central powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, Bulgaria) from 1914 to 1918) World War I.
		In the future, electronically controlled machine guns with ultra-high rates of fire may see use in some applications, although current small-caliber weapons of this type have found little use: they are too light for anti-vehicle use, but too heavy (especially with the need to carry a tactically useful amount of ammunition) for individual soldiers.

	Definition of MG 15 machine gun
		The MG 15 was a 7.92 mm machine gun developed by Rheinmetall-Borsig during World War II as a derivative of the company's MG 30 infantry weapon.

	Fw 200 Condor
		First flown in 1937 it was an all metal construction, four-engine monoplane capable of carrying 25 passengers up to 3000 km, it flew from Berlin to New York in twenty hours without stopping.
		To adapt it for wartime, hard-points were added on the wings for bombs, the fuselage was extended and strengthened to create more space and front, aft and dorsal gun positions were added.
		The extra weight of the improvements meant that a number of early Condors would break-up on landing, a problem that was never entirely fixed.

		This gun was so correct in conception that subsequent changes in the mechanism were of a relatively minor nature and many of the alterations were to reduce the original great weight.
		Like the MG 34 (Weapon No 123), this is a dual purpose machine gun and might be considered something of a pace setter in its method of manufacture.
		This gun very much resembles the British LMG (Bren) and came into being because of the need for a light machine gun chambered for the 7.7 mm rimless Type 99 cartridge.

		The MG was in fact a modified MG 08, which was the German Lisenced copy of the famous Maxim Gun.
		The MG 08 was a water cooled machinegun, however the heavy water jacket proved unnecessary (and possibly detrimental) for cooling the barrel as the barrel would be kept cooled simply from the air rushing past while in flight.
		Some observation aircraft had a Spandau mounted as a forward firing MG but the Parabellum machinegun was used almost exclusively as the observer's machinegun and the main line of defense against enemy aircraft.

	Modern Firearms - Machineguns - MG-42
		Hitlers' Germany entered the World War 2 with the MG-34 as a major multipurpose machine gun, but it soon was discovered that MG-34 was less than suitable for high volume wartime production, being too time- and resource-consuming in manufacture and also somewhat sensitive to fouling and mud.
		The search for newer, better universal machine gun begain circa 1939, and in 1942 the final design, developed by the German company Metall und Lackierwarenfabrik Johannes Grossfuss AG, was adopted as a MG-42.
		Being undoubtfully one of the best machine guns of the World War 2, MG-42 still shines and is still in production in more or less modified forms in many countries.
