7,62mm Multi Purpose Machine Gun MG 74
The MG 74 was adopted by the Austrian
Armed Forces in the mid 1970s. The weapon is used with bipod as light
machine gun and on infantry tripod mount as "heavy" machine
gun (caliber 12,7 mm is called "extra heavy"). The version
used in fighting vehicles as coaxial weapon is called MG 74Pz.
The MG 74 is a short-recoil operated, air cooled, belt fed weapon, which
fires from an open bolt. The barrel is quick-removable and can be replaced
in a few seconds, although an asbestos glove is required to remove the
hot barrel. The design of the weapon is based on the legendary MG 42
used by the German Wehrmacht in World War 2. The MG 74 is an advanced
version of the MG 42/59 and it was develeoped by the Department of Defense-Technology
of the Austrian Armed Forces, Steyr Mannlicher (AUT) and Beretta (IT).
