The Dark Reason MG42 Is Still in Service The MG-42 is one of the few weapons from World War II that never truly disappeared. Designed in 1942, it fired twice as fast as anything its enemies had, and its terrifying sound earned it countless nicknames on every front. Yet decades later, its design still lives on in modern armies under new names and calibers. This is the real story of how a machine gun built so far back in history became one of the longest-serving weapons in the world.
