Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi and was based on the Christine Leunens novel "Caging Skies". Roman Griffin Davis stars in the film as Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a Hitler Youth member who discovers that his mother Rosie (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs, while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend, a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler (portrayed by Waititi). The film's cast includes Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant, Alfie Allen, and Sam Rockwell. Jojo Rabbit would go on to be nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress for Johansson, with Waititi receiving the Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

Fraulein Rahm (Rebel Wilson) also is seen taking up the MG42 while engaging the opposing forces. In this scene, the weapon likely is an airsoft replica, since it has a strange plastic block in the action. Also, it sounds like the MG42 used by Frau Rahm has a very low rate of fire (likely a choice made in post production).
