Best Answer

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.

Mg42 or bozooka what one was better?

A comparison is impossible to my way of thinking because the MG42 was a machine gun and the bazooka was a rocket launcher. It is an apples versus oranges contest. The German counterpart to the bazooka would be the panzerschreck, or possibly the panzerfaust. The US counterpart to the MG42 would be the Browning M1919.

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.

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).


Is a sniper rifle better than a shotgun?

Yes because snipers can kill from distances. The shotgun is the close combat weapon because it is only stronger in closer range but the sniper rifle can kill really far away. Snipers are trained to be invisible but not the shotgun. Today most military soldiers are now using the sniper rifle better than the shotgun. Snipers have perfect penatrations of firing against body armors but the shotgun has a poor penatration of firing through the body armor. Snipers are much more better than shotguns because snipers are much more powerful than shotguns and they can kill without being spotted by their enemies. So the sniper rifle is the winner. Actually, it depends on the intended use. The original question was too vague to assume it was meant they way you answered it. At close distances, a shotgun is typically a better choice.
