The MG42 (shortened from German: Maschinengewehr 42, aka machine gun 42) was a 7.9 mm general purpose machine gun that was developed in Nazi Germany and entered service with the Wehrmacht in 1942.
In Inglourious Basterds[]
Hugo Stiglitz carries an MG42 during his introductory scene in Chapter Two, when Aldo speaks to Werner in the woods. Gerold Hirschberg is also seen wielding an MG42, when the Basterds free Stiglitz from the prison.
Trivia[]
- In the trailer, Hirschberg is seen running with an MG42 and firing it in the jail. This scene did not appear in the film and instead the person running and shooting in the prison scene is Omar, who's firing an MP40.
