SS Machine-gun Platoon (Early & Mid War)
(GE794)
with one Command SMG team, four MG34 HMG (with MG42 option for Mid-war) with crew, one Small base & four Medium bases.

Armed with the versatile MG34, the HMG platoons of the Waffen-SS were able to pour fire into an enemy to either suppress them in attack or pin them down in defence.
Capable of firing up to 800 rounds a minute, the MG34 had a unique feature of being able to produce semi-automatic by pressing the upper segment of the trigger, while fully automatic fire was achieved by pressing the lower segment. Another important feature of the MG34 was the ability to quickly change barrels due to the overheating.

It could fire ammunition stored in either 50 or 75 round drums or via the more traditional belt feed system and used as either a Light Machine-gun fired off a bipod or as a Heavy Machine-gun fired from a tripod. The tripod also included sighting equipment which further aided indirect
fire.
