MG 34/41 German WWII Machine Gun (2 pcs.) 1/35

The MG34/41 machine gun was a further development of the original MG34 weapon to meet Wehrmacht's requirements calling for higher rate of fire as well as simplified production. The earlier was met by strengthening the ejector assembly while the latter was taken care of by improving the ammo feed mechanism. The production was less demanding due to a few components being pressed and also by eliminating complex machining operations. All these, however, led to the overall weight increase of some extra 14kg compared with the earlier standard MG34. The whole new weapon production batch was employed on the Eastern Front.
