Check this picture:
Tamiya produces such tripods.

those can help as a start

I wouldn't recommend the third picture from Graywolf because when you hold your left there when firing you would burn it.

Yeah, my 200th post

you mean left HAND and you are right on that,that photo was posted to show the position of the sand bags.maybe this guy invented a internal cooling system for mg 42. :-)

I have seen this gun, and MG 34's being fired over the shoulder of a 2nd man, with that man holding the tripod (both in film footage and foto-shoots). Wether this was pure propaganda, I do not know... I certainly hope the second man had some earplugs....

WHAT?!?!?!?!?

(sorry, shout intentional...couldn't resist. Had to do it.)

we now return you to your surfing already in progress.

Probably not. I've seen similar lips and photos. It's probably propaganda. Who in his right mind would be standing ,lugging a MG in the middle of a fire fight.

Oh I forgot... Rambo

MG 42 Departed

mg 42 were very popular in world war 2 so u would be correct in placing it anywhere u desired
