Hello again everyone,

Just another quick question regarding Weapon Stats. I am trying to model the SIG-710 GPMG. From what I recall development began in and around 1955 and from 1957 onwards the resulting designs were re-designated "SIG-710" - having been designated "Mg57".

From what I can tell the "Mg55 / Mg57-1" (the first design) looked a lot like the "Mg42V" (Mg45). I assume it was ready to go by about 1955?

The second model looked more like a cross between the Mg34 and Mg42V and the third, the "SIG 710-3" looked again a lot like a shortened Mg42. I know it was designed in 1965.

I assume the "Mg57-2" (the rather odd looking one of the bunch)was good to go in 1957?

I would also appreciate some reliable data on the ranges of these weapons in the LMG configuration. I know they are quite small and the ROF is about 900RPM.

Looking at the Mg42 and Mg43 again I suppose a range of 12 (1200 Metres) might do. Any thoughts?

High Explosive Kill ratings would also be appreciated.

Thanks, in advance, to those who have suggestions.
