Produktbeschreibung
The Paratroop MG platoon provides devastating fire support for the Paratroopers when they launch an attack. Contains: 1 officer, 1 NCO, 1 SMG gunner, 4 MG gunners, 4 MG loaders, 4 MG spotters, 4 30cal machine-guns, 1 bazooka gunner, 1 bazooka loader, 2 small and 4 medium bases.
Landing by parachute means everything needs to be light, including your machine-guns. The air-cooled Browning M1919A4's of the Parachute Machine-gun Platoon fit the bill perfectly weighing just 41lb (18.5kg) complete with tripod.
They provide the airborne troops with a weapon capable of laying down a steady stream of fire to keep Fritz�s heads down, just when you want them to.
Although they don�t have the weight of fire of the infantry�s heavy water-cooled M1917 machine-guns, having eight in the platoon more than makes up for that.
In Flames Of War -
The Parachute Machine-gun Platoon comes down with the rest of the Parachute Infantry, so they’re always on hand to lend fire support. A US Parachute Rifle company can have one as a Weapons Platoon support choice.
It can also make combat attachment, dividing its extra fire out among the Parachute Rifle Platoons.
The M1919 LMG has: Range 16"/40cm, ROF 5, AT 2 and FP 6.
When pinned down its ROF is only reduced to 2. It is a man-packed gun so can easy keep up with the infantry to give support. |
