    Having already got the Gander/Chamberlain Encyclopedia open for another reason, I feel inclined to transcribe MGs, as I need to refresh somewhat.
    (Maybe ditch that slightly irritable signature, and In pleasant spirit I might do all the other weapons in there from Leichte to Schwere as well. ;) )

    It is late, and I am full of Vodka - all transcription errors are my own, and some original designations I've compressed.
    Work back from the Germanic nomenclature and you'll get there.
