MG34 Range
Hi
Heres a quote from Orbis Publishings book "World War II"
"Despite the characteristic reduction in weight and size, the excellent construction and powerfull 7.92mm cartridge give the MG34 remarkable ballistic qualities. Its normal sights are graduated from 200 to 2000 metres, but with telescopic sights it has a range of 3500 metres."
The US Army Manuals "German infantry Weapons" listed in Mark Shepperds recent post agrees with the range of 3500m ie,
"This telescopic sight is graduated up to an effective range of 3,500 meters"
and also adds
"The telescopic sight is used with the tripod mount for aiming the machine gun in either direct or indirect fire"
So it would appear that this weapon should get a range of 70 hexes?
Best Regards Chuck
