2,8cm KWK 42 Mauser MG 8202

Hello here is the belt feeded 28mm KWK 42. It fires the same ammo than the s.PzB. 41.
Somebody here has some closer informations about performance, cadence ect.?
To that I look for fotos of the EW 141 using the Patrone 318

Nice, about the EW 141 I ve posted some in here.

By the way I believe that the MK 8202 used an little longer case than the Spz 41. No idea about the ciclic rate but it must be between 300-400 rpm

You are right - here is a case. A belted head case with a somewhat longer caseneck. Better for an automatic gun than the rimmed case.:mrgreen:

Beautiful, I think it is 210 mm long. The Gerlich weapon should be a nice replecement for the Kwk 38 of 20mm, It is ideal for the aufklarer panzer , because it have a heavy punch in a compact package very well suited for the “Luchs” of “leopard”.

It can kill even the T-34 at short distance.:rolleyes:

Very interesting - I’d not heard about this one.

Barrel wear must have been ferocious.

In here you got some ammo listing compilated by a french collector, includes several experimental types like the MK 8202

There shouldt be a long necked rimmed case too :wink:
