MG 3

The MG 3 had been in use by the Germany military since 1968, and has been virtually unchanged since its formal adoption. Derived from the World War II-era MG42 (almost essentially just being a rechambering of the same weapon to 7.62mm NATO), it is often used in emplacements, by support teams, and can be found as the standard secondary armament of most German and now Federal military vehicles.
The MG 3 has an exceptionally high rate of fire. Full automatic fire is discouraged except in emergencies. Bipod operators are trained to fire in 3 to 5 rounds busts, while tripod gunners are trained to fire in 20 to 30 rounds bursts. After 150 rounds of rapid fire, the hot barrel must be swapped with a cool one to continue firing.
