  MG3 - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
The MG3 is a German air-cooled, belt-fed general purpose machine gun chambered in the 7.62x51mm NATO cartridge.
The MG3 feeds from the left side through a feed block using metal, 50-round continuous-link DM1 ammunition belts (which can be combined by cartridge) or disintegrating-link M13 or DM6 belts.
In the light machine gun role, the MG3 is deployed with a 100-round belt fitted inside a synthetic ammunition drum that is attached to the left side of the receiver.

Although Rheinmetall did not thrive on the M88 projectile — this happened a few years later with the invention of the first barrel recoil system for a field gun — the company would never have been founded without this order.
For Rheinmetall's centenary, however, the newly created central archives did not yet play a decisive role; the company's chronicle of 1989 was almost exclusively based on the documents in the archives of Rheinmetall GmbH.
The central archives of the Rheinmetall group which have been existing in its present form since 1992 in their present form and the archives of the military study collection that (unlike the exhibition) was transferred to Ratingen and not to Unterlüß in 1992 existed alongside each other without any organizational ties for many years.

 Modern Firearms - MG 42 and MG 3 machine gun
The newly produced MG 1 guns went through a number of modifications, which resulted in the definitive MG 3 version, which still is rather close in design to the war-time MG 42, although made to much higher standards of fit and finish.
The simplicity, low manufacturing cost and high effectiveness of the MG 3 attracted several other countries, which either bought the guns from Rheinmetall (such as Denmark), or obtained manufacturing licenses and build (or at least have built in the past) the same guns domestically (such as Italy, Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Yugoslavia).
It must be noted that in some countries these guns were used under their "commercial" Rheinmetall designation MG 42/59.
