[@stevenhiles324]

Wood don't rust it rots and when it's ATTACHED to a gun and the gun gets rusty some of the orange color gets on the wood

[@KlLLERROBOT99]

Well first off this definitely isn't an original MG34/41 as the parts do not match what the Bakelite variants used. The barrel and grip are both incorrect. So this is easier a replica made to look rusted, beat up, and broken or it's a post-WW2 variant created from parts and then used in following conflicts. Additionally, looking at the part of the video that has the stock in full view, it is missing the required waffenamt inspection stamp that is done to indent into the material. Therefore the stock is either again a replica post-WW2 or a faked piece.

[@kanggoo57]

Parts do not match, yes, but pitting like that is basically impossible to do fast for youtube. Dunno how they achieve this

Like when people trying to claim they found an MP40 magnet fishing in a place that never saw combat with German forces and the weapon looks like it's made out of plastic lmao This obviously isn't a 1941 model.

So…. You expect him to be able to make the gun… literally factory new….

👍👍 Ideally it would be nice to know where the MG34 has been for the last 80 years? The MG34 was of course replaced by the MG42 mainly I understand because the latter was cheaper to produce by way of using more pressed steel components. There were also other design changes made, the result of which increased the rate of fire from about 900 rounds per minute on the MG34 to about 1300 rpm on the MG42, which is quite staggering.
