FG 42

The FG 42 is a German select fire Full Powered Rifle that was intended for use by paratroopers. It had many features that distinguished itself from other rifles of the time, and was an effective weapon, utilizing the best combination of existing systems.

The FG 42 is a very rare spawn on the map and usually spawns with 1-2 20 round magazines. The iron sights are average, although they are not conducive to accurate long range fire. Both the PU and PSO-1 scopes can be mounted to help accuracy, however. In semi automatic, recoil is rather low and easy to control, although recoil becomes much harder to manage while in full auto. Th FG 42 is tied with the Gewehr 41 and Gewehr 43 as having the slowest bullet velocity of the full powered rifles.
