The FG 42 and variants can be seen in the following films, television series, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
This revolutionary semi-automatic rifle was produced in limited numbers for the German Fallschirmjäger (Airborne) during the Second World War. The slim in-line design, coupled with the side mounted 20 round magazine made it one of the more distinctive designs of its era. Early models came with a dramatically angled pistol grip and metal furniture while later models had a standard grip and wooden furniture (possibly due to wartime shortages). In addition though most had iron sights later models came with a low powered optical sight.
Television
