MG42 - 1200 to 1500 rounds per minute
MG3 - 1200 rounds per minute

So technically, yes, but :cmon:

This isn't so much about pretending that I'm super knowledgeable about either, but one of the two is a firearm that you let off the leash with a bit of a growl. The other is an actual relic that burns through ammunition so fast it makes you contemplate your life decisions.

Though, realtalk: I've never switched out one of the Knochensaege barrels, so I guess I don't get to talk

I'm a little rusty on my airplane sperging, but I seem to recall that they have such a good wing/lifting area that they can fly balls slow to the point that the Russians would just have dudes jump out of it onto the ground at low level without getting hurt.

They can fly incredibly slowly, yes. To the point of pacing tractor trailer traffic along a highway, if you're confident enough in your pilot to fly that low.

#2 isn't ALWAYS bad...

My favorite anecdote about the AN-2 is the flight manual emergency procedures for engine failure at night or in IMC is to close the throttle, put out full flaps, pull the yoke all the way back, hold it there, and keep the wings level. The aircraft will go into a stall, and mush forward into the terrain at something like ~25kts , which is probably pretty survivable no matter what you hit.

If I had ¥$€£FuckYou£€$¥ I'd have an AN-2. The fuel burn is absolutely hilarious, though. Money has to not be an object.

At this point in time I'm not even surprised anymore. There's plenty of videos floating around of Houthis with AK's, RPG-7's and IED's severely loving up Saudi troops packing state of the art US-supplied equipment. Almost every account of that war makes it seems like the Saudis rolled into Yemen completely oblivious to the situation on the ground (or at sea, in this case).

I was walking through bartells to buy some random stuff and spotted this in the magazine rack.



Guess which unit they spend 99% of the magazine blowing?

But they did include a nod here and there to our other sof units. Like the delta rangers :downs:
