MG4

Is the HK121 an upscaled MG4? In other words, is it based on the MG4, but designed to take the 7.62mm NATO round? Axeman (talk) 07:55, 24 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Yes it is, much like the Belgian MK 48 is a 7.62x51mm NATO version of the FN Minimi.

The HK121 is renamed the MG5

Should the title stay as HK121 or be changed to MG5? 162.236.167.40 (talk) 21:05, 11 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

Loaded Chamber Indicator

edit

A loaded chamber indicator makes no sense on an open bolt gun: the only way for a live cartridge to be in the chamber is a malfunction. An open bolt firearm ready to fire has the bolt back and no cartridge in the chamber, pulling the trigger makes the bolt go forward, load a cartridge, and fire.
