Description
The Rheinmetall MG3 is a German general-purpose machine gun developed in the 1960s as a modernized version of the WWII-era MG42. Chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO, the MG3 retains the MG42’s distinctive high rate of fire—up to 1,200 rounds per minute—while incorporating updates for compatibility with NATO standards. It is recoil-operated with a roller-locked bolt system and is known for its rugged reliability, ease of maintenance, and adaptability for use on bipods, tripods, or vehicle mounts. Still in use by many armed forces worldwide, the MG3 remains a proven weapon for sustained fire and suppression on the modern battlefield.
Replaces the Combat MG.
Features:
- Fully Animated
- Working Collision Data
- 2K Textures
- 3 Skins Available
- Multiple Variants Included
Please Note:
The iron sights are actually pretty good. The only problem is the reload animation is a bit buggy due to the original model having the magazine sit directly underneath the gun.

Just extract the archive and place the files in:

How To Fix Texture Loss:
If you are experiencing any texture loss, make a copy of the low texture and rename it to +hi. The low textures should be 1024×1024 or 1024×512. Anything lower does not matter. If the textures aren’t in these resolutions, you need to downscale them. If you are still experiencing issues, try changing the pixel format to DXT5 or DXT1.
