Red Dead Redemption 2 MG-42 Machine Gun Mod v1.0

                    
Ever wanted to lay down a wall of lead in the heart of the frontier? The MG-42 Machine Gun mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 swaps out the old Springfield Rifle for the legendary World War II MG-42, transforming shootouts into pure chaos. Perfect for trainer users, challenge runners, or gun mod fans who enjoy bringing modern mayhem to Rockstar’s wild west.
MG-42 Machine Gun Mod Features

Springfield replaces with MG-42: The classic bolt-action becomes a fully automatic beast, complete with custom weapon wheel icon and catalogue page.
Devastating fire rate and large magazine: Rapid-fire action with a 75-round drum means endless crowd control. Hip firing is recommended for best visuals and coolest effect.
Non-customisable: The MG-42 is not upgradeable or editable—just pick up and unleash, as intended.
Known issue (clipping): Works best when fired from the hip due to some animation overlap. Looks and performs great for those chaotic encounters.
Ammo management tip: Because of the huge magazine, you might want to increase Springfield ammo manually. For true unlimited firepower, use your favorite trainer or a mod with infinite ammo support.
