SO you were born in 1924?
Most WWII vets wouldn't call MG42's machine guns. An uneducated member of the public might though

Then he must be one of those Northern Virginia Yankee Liberals! They
can't tell a machine gun from a muzzle loader!
Do you guys remember the drum circles under the bridge and the nitrous tanks along the Anacostia river in the back parking lot? Every time the cops would come
by they would scatter into the bushes along the river like cockroaches!!!LOL I used to buy shitlaods of Beast w/ my homemade fake id and sell them for a buck a piece and made bank. I remember the brothers always wondering what the fuck was up w/ these crazy white kids running around huffing giant nitrous baloons and holding their pointer fingers in the air asking for "a miracle"!!

I remember going to see Pink Floyd there a few weeks after that Dead show, and it was the worst concert I ever went to... hopefully you managed to avoid that one.
LOL, they used to have a drum circle every Sunday in Meridian Hill Park when I lived in Adams-Morgan in the mid 90s... it used to annoy the shit out of my girlfriend because you could hear it from our apartment.
I could never figure that shit out. That, and that stupid hippy dancing. Ugh!!

I thought the Floyd show rocked imo, but to each his own. Being a teenager in the 90's was a weird experience, especially when all those dead heads became gangster hippies and started going to all the raves after Jerry died!!!!LOL
I remember someone calling me that nite to go down to some big "remember Jerry" gathering at the Lincoln Memorial, like thousands of people showed up. And there were people in my office that took the next day off to mourn. Man I hated those goddamn hippies!!
LOL...I remember that shit! They did the same thing when Kurt Kobain died (RIP) As far as the drum circles were concerned, I didn't mind them at concerts, embassy and mall protests, or soccer games, but in the middle of someonese's neoghborhood is over the line, especially at night!

Oh really? I would consider the MG42 a machine gun. A big one nevertheless, with the 8mm Mausers it was dangerous as hell too.
The term machine gun wasn't really around in the 1940s and the army trys to avoid using it. BARs and M60's are both automatic rifles, as are M16's. The MG42 falls into the same category of squad support weapons. Shoot a lot of bullets really fast, regardless of accuracy
