Santa know who's been naughty.
"I'm here to deliver presents and kick ass--and I'm all out of presents!"
I'm wondering what Santa is doing with that MG34/42 Naughty National Socialists?...I would think he would be a Browning fan?!?

Anon,
The LMG is probaby a G3 - basically an mg-42 rechambered for Nato 7.62x51. Still capable of spitting out 1,100 rounds per minute.

Brad, I think you mean MG53. The G3 is a HK, 91-ish.
Regardless, I'd like to find one under my tree!
Actually Wally, that would be "MG3".
The Germans started renumbering from "1" when the Bundeswehr was formed after WWII.
MG1 was the old MG42, only it was built new as a 7.62x51mm NATO gun, using a specific German link system (DM1 -- nothing more than the WWII and earlier non-disintegrating link system). It was LITERALLY no different from an MG42, except the chambering 7.62x51mm NATO. (Matter of fact, I believe that you can convert a wartime MG42 to 7.62 NATO by changing the barrel. Heck, until the MG1A1, the Germans didn't even bother changing the sight leaf, and just shot 7.62 NATO with the7.92 Mauser sight settings!)
The MG2 was the designation for WWII era MG42s that were rebarrelled for 7.62x51mm NATO.
The MG1 eventually (through a series of changes) morphed into the current MG3, which (among other things) has a far more flexible feed system in that it can feed from USGI M13disintegrating links or either of two German links (non-disintegrating DM1 or disintegrating DM6).
MG42/59 is the commercial and export designation of post-war MG42s. Yes, even when in "MG3" configuration -- the guns are THAT alike and most of the parts are still the same.
M53 (often called "MG53", although as far I as know, "M53" is the correct English transliteration of the Yugoslavian designation) is a Yugoslavian MG42 clone built off ex-Nazi tooling originally (still in original 7.92mm Mauser caliber -- I believe they are 100% parts interchanegable!)
