MG34 with front and rear sights folded down - 7.92x57mm Mauser
MG34 with 50 round belt drum - 7.92x57mm Mauser
MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser

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.

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 armoured 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.
