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.
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.

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 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.
