B: The MG-42 has a much faster rate of fire than the MG-42.
C: The MG-42 can in some instances be equipped with telescopic sights, allowing engagements of over a mile. This was not possible with the M-60.
Just want to point out that the M-16 uses the 5.56mmx54 NATO round not the 7.62X51mm NATO round . And also I have never heard of the MG-42 of being issued or using a "scope" during the war. Do you have any sources for that? Or do you mean the sight for use in the AA role? The modern MG3 used by Germany today can be fitted with EOTech holosight red-dot optics though.
