MG-34 (German Maschinengewehr 34) - German single machinegun of the Second World War.The MG-34 was developed by the German company Rheinmetall AG, commissioned by the Wehrmacht. The development of the machine gun was led by Luis Stange, but when developing the machine gun, the achievements of not only the company Rheinmetall and its subsidiaries but also other firms such as Mauser, for example, were used. The machine gun was officially adopted by the Wehrmacht in 1934 and until 1942 it was officially the main machine gun not only for the infantry, but also for the tank forces of Germany. In 1942, instead of the MG-34, a more advanced MG-42 machine gun was adopted, but production of the MG-34 did not stop until the end of the Second World War, as it continued to be used as a tank machine gun due to its greater fitness for this compared to MG-42.

The MG-34 is first worthy of mentioning as the first single machine gun ever adopted. It embodied the concept of a universal machine gun developed by the Wehrmacht in the experience of the First World War, capable of performing the role of both a light machine gun used from bipods and an easel used from an infantry or antiaircraft machine, as well as a tank machine used in coupled and separate installations of tanks and combat Machines. This unification simplified the supply and training of troops, provided high tactical flexibility.
