	The '''~~MG34~~''' is a general-purpose machine gun produced by Germany during the Second World War. The forerunner of the more widely produced [[~~MG42~~]], the weapon was noted for long production times due to use of time-intensive machined parts, but remained in production alongside its replacement throughout the war. It was developed to fit a tactical concept called the "universal machine gun," wherein the same weapon would be used in both the light and medium machine gun roles: what is today known as a general-purpose machine gun.

It was developed to fit a tactical concept called the "universal machine gun," wherein the same weapon would be used in both the light and medium machine gun roles: what is today known as a general-purpose machine gun.

	A variation of the gun, the '''~~MG34~~ Panzerlauf''', was commonly used as secondary armament on German tanks, since the ~~MG42~~'s barrel change system could not easily be operated when it was mounted. This version lacked a stock, featured an armored barrel shroud and could be fitted with a solenoid for remote firing. Tanks carried a kit to allow the ''Panzerlauf'' variant to be converted for ground use, including a stock and bipod.

This version lacked a stock, featured an armored barrel shroud and could be fitted with a solenoid for remote firing. Tanks carried a kit to allow the ''Panzerlauf'' variant to be converted for ground use, including a stock and bipod.

	The ~~MG34~~ could use several different feeding variations: for use as a medium machine gun, it was issued with loose 250 round metal belts with disintegrating links (which could be linked together as desired). When employed as a light machine gun it was instead used with a drum called the ''Gurttrommel 34'' which mounted to the left side of the weapon and contained a 50-round belt. It could also use 75 round saddle drum magazines called ''Patronentrommel 34''. To use the latter, the standard feed cover had to be replaced with a magazine holder. This feeding variant was mainly used early in the war and often when the ~~MG34~~ was utilized as AA gun or mounted on a tripod. Later in the war those were not supplied anymore as they were very complicated to reload and even needed a tool for this, and the ability to use this magazine was eliminated entirely on the ~~MG42~~.
