The MG42 - when used in an entrenched position - was wickedly effective at mowing down incoming waves of enemy troops and allowed Nazi Germany to inflict massive casualties from 1942 (when the MG42 was invented) until the end of the war.

Note: The MG42 did not see it's "closing curtain" at the end of WW2 - it was utilized by the Portuguese Military well into the 1960's.
