Mg 34 and Mg 42 Machine Guns
MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS MC NAB © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com MG 34 AND MG 42 MACHINE GUNS CHRIS McNAB Series Editor Martin Pegler © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com CONTENTS INTRODUCTION 4 DEVELOPMENT 8 The ‘universal’ machine gun USE 27 Flexible firepower IMPACT 62 ‘Hitler’s buzzsaw’ CONCLUSION 74 GLOSSARY 77 BIBLIOGRAPHY & FURTHER READING 78 INDEX 80 © Osprey Publishing • www.ospreypublishing.com INTRODUCTION Although in war all enemy weapons are potential sources of fear, some seem to have a deeper grip on the imagination than others. The AK-47, for example, is actually no more lethal than most other small arms in its class, but popular notoriety and Hollywood representations tend to credit it with superior power and lethality. Similarly, the bayonet actually killed relatively few men in World War I, but the sheer thought of an enraged foe bearing down on you with more than 30cm of sharpened steel was the stuff of nightmares to both sides. In some cases, however, fear has been perfectly justified. During both world wars, for example, artillery caused between 59 and 80 per cent of all casualties (depending on your source), and hence took a justifiable top slot in surveys of most feared tools of violence. The subjects of this book – the MG 34 and MG 42, plus derivatives – are interesting case studies within the scale of soldiers’ fears. Regarding the latter weapon, a US wartime information movie once declared that the gun’s ‘bark was worse than its bite’, no doubt a well-intentioned comment intended to reduce mounting concern among US troops about the firepower of this astonishing gun. -
Foreign Military Weapons and Equipment
DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY PAMPHLET NO. 30-7-4 FOREIGN MILITARY WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT Vol. III INFANTRY WEAPONS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY DT WASHINGTON 25, D. C. FOREWORD The object in publishing the essential recognition features of weapons of Austrian, German, and Japanese origin as advance sections of DA Pam 30-7-4 is to present technical information on these weapons as they are used or held in significant quantities by the Soviet satellite nations (see DA Pam 30-7-2). The publication is in looseleaf form to facilitate inclusion of additional material when the remaining sections of DA Pam 30-7-4 are published. Items are presented according to country of manufacture. It should be noted that, although they may be in use or held in reserve by a satellite country, they may be regarded as obsolete in the country of manufacture.

This paper presents the general principle of operation of delayed blowback small arms, their classification by the applied blowback delay, and a discussion of the existing designs. An analysis was carried out to rate the specific design solutions. The results of this work will be used in further investigations into and testing of delayed blowback firearms.

INTRODUCTION A firearm is a specific heat engine which utilises the energy of the gases formed by violent combustion of a propellant to endow a projectile with kinetic energy. One of firearm type is the automatic firearm, in which all actions during a shot cycle (save for chambering the first round and pulling of the trigger) are done without any intervention -

Explaining the Onset of Strategic State-Terrorist Negotiations A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science by Siobhan O’Neil 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Dealing with the Devil? Explaining the Onset of Strategic State-Terrorist Negotiations by Siobhan O’Neil Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Arthur Stein, Chair Statesmen are quick to declare that they will not negotiate with terrorists. Yet, the empirical record demonstrates that, despite statements to the contrary, many states do eventually negotiate with their terrorist challengers. My dissertation examines the circumstances under which states employ strategic negotiations with terrorist groups to resolve violent conflict. I argue that only when faced with a credible and capable adversary and afforded relative freedom of action domestically will states negotiate with terrorists. To test this theory, I use a multi-method approach that incorporates a cross- national study of all known strategic negotiations from 1968-2006 and three within-case studies (Israel, Northern Ireland, and the Philippines). Initial results suggest that negotiations are employed in about 13% of terrorist campaigns, certain types of groups are privileged, and negotiations only occur when statesmen can overcome domestic ii obstacles, namely public and veto player opposition. -

Reising Revisited
THE By Riley Diana REISING REVISITED ... In the arsenal of American submachine gun development is a weapon that has received less than it's fair share of written attention. Yet, what little material I could locate unfolds an interesting mixture of brutal criticism, curiosity, and admiration. This fascinating love-hate legacy manifests itself around the Reising MSO Reising Gun is an attractive well made American .45 ACP Cal. submachine gun submachine gun. An article written by developed for the Marine Corps early in World War II. William B. Edwards, published in May, 1963, GUN WORLD magazine, begins with "Among military armsmen, one of the most criticized weapons of the U.S. Forces was the submachine gun designed by Eugene G. Reising." Another article written some twenty years earlier in POPUIAR SCIENCE magazine, however, found the Reising gun to be "the answer to an ordnance officer's prayer." It is, by many of the recognized authorities of weapon development, respectfully characterized as "interesting, nove~ and ingenious in both operation and design." The history of the Reising gun began in 1940 with its design and patenting by Reising Gun field stripped clearly reveals the bolt in the locked position ready to fire, Eugene G. Reising. It was tested by the charging or action bar, 20 round magazine, and slotted stock for charging. Army Ordnance at Aberdeen, Maryland, accepted by the U.S. Marine Corps, and manufactured by the Harrington and Richardson Arms Company of Worchester, Massachusettes. Mass production began in late 1940 and ended in early 1945. During this period approximately 100,000 units were manufactured and the majority sold to the U.S. -
Drive on Germany and Ending the War in Europe: a Material Culture Lesson Package by Kevin S
Drive on Germany and Ending the War in Europe: A Material Culture Lesson Package By Kevin S. Malmquist This lesson of HI302, History of the Military Art, 1900-2013 covers a lot of ground, focusing on three primary areas: the Eastern Front from Operation Bagration to the Battle of Berlin, the Italian Front from the stalemate at the Gustav Line and Anzio to the capture of Rome and beyond, and the Western Front from Operation Overlord to the Battle of the Bulge and the end of the war in Europe. The focal point, as eluded to by the title of the lesson, is the Allied push on Germany from all fronts. As such, we have designed a material culture package to demonstrate to the Cadets what the Allies were facing as they made their way into Germany and to show them a few of the distinct types of troops they would have faced. The package includes three different uniforms and some of their respective equipment, including a Waffen-SS soldier, a Wehrmacht soldier, and a Volkssturm trooper. The Waffen-SS uniform coat includes an MP43 assault rifle (which later became the MP44 or StG44). The Wehrmacht uniform coat includes a Kar98k rifle, MP40 submachine gun, and an M24 stick grenade. The Volkssturm is represented by a generic wool overcoat and is displayed with a Panzerfaust and two Volkssturm guns, the Steyr VG-5 (VK98) and Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr (VG-1-5). This package is very flexible and can be set up The uniforms and equipment are arranged anywhere with sufficient space with consideration with the Waffen-SS on one side, the for the artifacts.
