Trivia

 * The MG3 can kill a player in 4 to 5 shots. With 200 rounds, it is a good ratio to deal multiple enemies
 * In mid-range battles, crouching to fire this weapon does not make any major differences; the recoil will make your accuracy suffer (even when firing in bursts), and you are just an easier target to hit.
 * The real life MG3 feeds only through the left, with the ammunition drum latched onto its left side.
 * This weapon is the successor of MG42, the German weapon in WW2. The MG42 had incredibly high rate of fire, about 1200rpm.
 * Maschinengewehr means Machine Gun in German.
