MG34

The MG34, or Maschinengewehr 34, was a German light machine gun featured in Call of Duty United Offensive, Call of Duty: Big Red One, and Call of Duty 3.

Singleplayer
The MG34 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Multiplayer
This weapon is the German light machine gun in multiplayer. It is largely the same as the other light machine guns, in the fact that it fires from a 75-round belt and deals high damage with high accuracy, but has a long reload time. It has a higher rate of fire than the other light machine guns, but with less damage than the M1919. It's damage is, however, the same as the DP-28 Soviet light machinegun. It can kill in one headshot, or three body shots.

Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
This weapon is found in few levels. It is similar to the M1919 Browning, in the sense that the player imidiately goes prone and mounts the bipod when aimed down its sights. It can also be mounted on small obstacles, like through a window or in a bunker. It has a 75 round drum magazine and a high rate of fire.

Singleplayer
In the level The Mace, several MG34s can be found. This gun is a fairly good machine gun for close range because of the high rate of fire and magazine capacity.

Multiplayer
The MG34 is used by Axis players who choose the support class. It has a magazine capacity of 75 cartridges, and an extremely high rate of fire. This weapon and its American counter-part are the heaviest weapons in the game. This weapon is only accurate when prone, and aiming down sights. It is very much like it was in the previous games.

Since the MG34's bipod is not fixed like it is on the .30 Cal, the player must manually attach the bipod in Multiplayer, causing a much longer setup time for the MG34. The time taken to setup the weapon is a serious disadvantage, as it gives time for enemy players to get a deadly aim on the player using the MG34. For this reason, the MG34 is best used from stationary positions, whereas the .30 Cal can be used as a semi-mobile weapon. However, the MG34 is a tad bit stronger to compensate for the unconventional sights which can make aiming difficult.
