The Maschinengewehr 34 aka MG34 is an Axis medium machine gun used by MG34-Schütze in the Day of Defeat series.
Overview
The MG 34 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 34, or "machine gun 34") is a German recoil-operated air-cooled general-purpose machine gun, first tested in 1929, introduced in 1934, and issued to units in 1936. It introduced an entirely new concept in automatic firepower – the Einheitsmaschinengewehr (Universal machine gun) – and is generally considered the world's first general-purpose machine gun (GPMG). Both the MG 34 and MG 42 were erroneously nicknamed "Spandau" by Allied troops, a carryover from the World War I nickname for the MG 08, which was produced at the Spandau Arsenal.
This is general purpose machine gun fed with 75 rounds of 8mm Mauser. It is an alternative to the MG42 that does not need to be cooled down, but has a lower rate of fire and a smaller magazine. It is only usable by the German team.
