Why would a 12Kg weapon require 49Kg of steel to produce? Paul, in Saudi 18:32, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
 * When you mill something, you cut away metal, so you have to start off with more to begin with. --Pelladon 05:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Note: The article mentions the MG34 was used in tanks and vehicles because the MG42's barrel housing was square. While that's true, the main reason the MG34 remained in tanks was the barrel changing could be done from within. Not so with the MG42. The MG34 could also feed ammo from either left or right, the MG42 could only feed on the left side. --Pelladon 05:49, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

An editor had added this nickname. Since his other edits were vandalim (obscenities) and the edit here was clearly misplaced I reverted it. If the nickname was widely known (Google has around 400 hits) please add it into the article. Pavel Vozenilek 00:05, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
