Hot on the heels of the Fallschirmjäger boxed set these new releases from Bolt Action Miniatures will give your elite German Paratroopers much needed support. First off we have an excellent looking PaK 40:
While the size of this field gun cut down on its mobility, the power and effectiveness of its 75mm x 714mm R ammunition made it devastating against most vehicles the Allies could bring to bear on the battlefield. When crewed by professionals like the Fallschirmjager, the PaK 40 was a dire threat to any vehicles which might cross into its field of fire.
Next up we have one of the most infamous crewed weapons of World War 2, the Maschinengewehr 42 or MG42:
Known as Hitlersäge or ‘Hitler’s Saw’ by the Germans and (among other things) ‘Hitler’s Zipper’ by the Allies, this efficient and powerful crewed machine gun was capable of spitting out around 1,200 7.92mm x 57mm Mauser rounds per minute. However, due to overheating and ammunition concerns, this was usually scaled back to a maximum about 500 rounds per minute. Even so, this made it a devastating weapon both physically and psychologically when brought to bear against Allied infantry and light vehicles.
Both of these excellent blister packs are now available to reinforce your Fallschirmjager in the Warlord webstore!
