The MG-3 is a continuation of the MG-42 that is used by several services today. It is a marvoulus gun, but less effective in attack. (the main drawback for any GPMG)

Yes.... my bad..... should have been MG-3 not G-3 which I have fired with a scope.

Designers from Mauser extended from the StG assault rifle series. The G-3, FN, L1A1, and CETME are all cousins.
The point of modern weapons in comparison is that the early designs were in many cases modified from those in Germany in WWII.
