With the acute material shortages of 1944 it was deemed necessary to further simplify to save resources. This resulted in the MG 45, also called MG42V, which modified the breech mechanism of the MG42 so that it didn't completely lock before firing. This increased the theoretical rate of fire even further, the weapon now only weighed 9 kg and - most importantly -production was simplified and needed only steel of minor quality. First tests were undertaken in June 1944, but development dragged on and eventually only ten were ever built and it was about 1900 rounds per min. as long as the barrel didn't melt first.

What country created the machine gun in ww1?
The first true machinegun to see use in the 1st World War was the British Maxim Gun, invented by Hiram Maxim, an American-born inventor who immigrated to the United Kingdom. Rapid-firing firearms existed prior to World War 1, the Gatling Gun introduced in the US Civil War is one example. The Maxim Gun however was the first true machinegun as it was the first self-powered gun to operate in rapid succession. All pervious rapid-firing firearms required action on the part of the user, unlike the Maxim Gun which operated its action by harnessing the recoil of the previously-fired cartridge. Thus the British Empire is the country which first 'created' a machinegun and implimented them in the span of the 1st World War.
