reversed case sounds more appealing

Will it sound like a MG42? (with that 'ripping' sound, not sure how to describe it)

I could be wrong about this, but I believe the mg42 had a much higher rate of fire resulting in its crazy ripping sound. when the mg3 was developed i think they lowered the rate of fire so i dont think it sounds like that anymore. again i could be totally wrong.

That is right.
This was done because the bolt assembly tended to break quite easily at such rates.
And at this fire rate, you are still suppressing everything that can be suppressed but don't waste so much ammo doing it. And on top of that, your barrel is not heating up so fast.

Great model! I have used the real thing with great joy and this looks just like it.
One question though: Will there be a version with the anti air iron sights? Would be just for fun as it would be a pain to make it work like the real thing, but nice to have nonetheless...

This model looks really great! Excellent textures..

very high detail on that one. good job.

GOD, this is gonna be my favourite weapon! It looks awesome, good job!

You mean the buttstock?

im not sure dont know the word but i know that it is the only thing on the MG3 thats out of plastic !

i learned to assemble and disasseble at the german army and i really only know the german words
in german its "Schulterstütze" the stuff on the back you press to your shoulder

i think you see the part which is missing ? thats what i mean

Yeah the butt stock isn't on that one.

which faction will be granted this weapon?

Sweet model, perhaps the new MK48 (7.62mm M249) next?

MEC for now, Germans later.

It's mentioned in the first page of the thread:

[R-DEV]Jaymz wrote:To answer peoples questions,

It will be the new MEC machinegun for 0.9. Both handheld and possibly vehicle mounted as well. Other factions that will come later will also be using it, the Germans for example.

It will handle similar to the way the HK21 does now, although it will be more difficult to control if not deployed and set up because of it's insane rate of fire.

It will come with and without optics.

That model looks awsome =) keep up the good work

Epic, just epic

my precioussssss...... *eyes start becoming bigger and bigger*

I think FN MAG will qualify as MG3's adversary.
