Cyclic rate of fire is 1,200 to 1,500 rounds per minute. However, a SUSTAINED rate of fire was about 300-350 rounds per minute. A belt fed machine gun develops a great deal of heat when firing, and must be allowed to cool. Military doctrine prohibited firing more than 250 rounds in one burst.

Which gun shoots faster the mini gun or MG42?
The rate of fire on an MG42 varied depending on what bolt was used, but optimal settings allowed for 1,500 rounds per minute. The M134 (otherwise known as a "minigun") fires at between 2,000-6,000 rounds per minute. So, to answer your question, the minigun fires much faster than the MG42, even with ideal configuration. Note: Keep in mind, however, that the MG42 did use a slightly larger round (7.92mm, as opposed to the miniguns' 7.62mm).
What machine gun was better the German MG42 or the American Browning 30cal?
Both had their strong and weak points. The Browning M1919 was not designed as a 'general purpose' weapon, but rather, a medium machine gun, and thus lacked some of the features of the MG42, such as a design which allowed for it to used to some reasonable degree as a squad level support weapon, if need be. The M1919 always had to be mounted on a tripod during operation, whereas the MG42 had a bipod. The method of attaching the M1919 to the tripod was much simpler than the same process for the MG42. As for rates of fire, the MG42 had a rate of fire of around 1200 rounds per minute, which was effective at keeping heads down, but also burned through ammunition stocks quickly, and caused rapid barrel overheating, which required the barrel to be changed at regular intervals.

Is the MG42 better than a shotgun?
Yes because the MG42 can kill much more faster than a shotgun. The MG42 can also reload really quickly and kill more zombies than a shotgun. If some anti-zombies were you they will take the MG42 instead of the shotgun because the shotgun is the weakest weapon than the MG42. Shotguns can kill a couple of zombies per minute but the MG42 can kill over 1,000 zombies per minute and can really beat the shotgun. The MG42 is way much more better than the shotgun so the answer is yes.
What country had the mg42?
