What was the best weapon in World War 2?
The best weapon was the German mg42. It was so good that it is still in service in parts of the world today. It has an immense rate of fire.
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.
How heavy is the mg42?
The MG42 Machine Gun weighed 11.57 kg (25.51 lb).
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.

Was the MG42 an American weapon?
Answer :NoThe MG42 was a German weapon. It was 50. calibre and one of the most powerful machine guns to date. I do not the name of the American alternative,but it was comonly refered to at the 50 cal. An MG34 is a 30.calibre machine gun. Actually, the MG42 was not .50 caliber, it was either 7.92mm or 6mm depending on the variant.The MG42 was a Belt-Fed Machine Gun with a caliber of 7.92mm, larger than most other cartridges in use at the time. The MG42 were designed to give the standard infantryman devestating firepower with a cyclic rate of almost 800 rounds per minute (RPM) in a man-portable package. Which was far beyond the capabilities of their standard issue rifle, the bolt-action Mausers. The American equivalent of the MG42 would be the M-1918 .30cal Browning utilizing the 30-06 Springfield cartridge the ancestor of todays .308 Winchester, commonly used in the Belgian FN FAL, M-14, and M240 light machine gun. The MG42 set the standard for light machineguns (LMG). Many of today's LMGs, such as the American M-60 and German MG 21, can trace their origins to the MG42.

How did the gun mg42 help in the world war 2?
The MG42 - when used in an entrenched position - was wickedly effective at mowing down incoming waves of enemy troops and allowed Nazi Germany to inflict massive casualties from 1942 (when the MG42 was invented) until the end of the war. Note: The MG42 did not see it's "closing curtain" at the end of WW2 - it was utilized by the Portuguese Military well into the 1960's.
