The iconic German Mauser rifle, later converted into a heavy machine gun, boasts several standout features. Weighing in at a formidable 13.6 pounds and measuring nearly 44 inches long, this massive powerhouse showcases Nazi Germany's ingenuity during the Second World War. Developed under extreme secrecy and introduced to combat units by September of '42, it effectively supplanted the ubiquitous MG-34, swiftly assuming prominence across German forces - a distinction bolstered further by the machine gun's remarkably high 1500-round-per-minute firing capacity.
