Yes because the MG42 can kill much more faster than a shotgun. The MG42 can also reload really quickly and kill more zombies than a shotgun. If some anti-zombies were you they will take the MG42 instead of the shotgun because the shotgun is the weakest weapon than the MG42. Shotguns can kill a couple of zombies per minute but the MG42 can kill over 1,000 zombies per minute and can really beat the shotgun. The MG42 is way much more better than the shotgun so the answer is yes.
In the US, a LEGAL MG42 is about $45,000. Only the machineguns that were registered with the BATFE by May 1986 CAN ever be transferred to a private citizen. The limited number of such guns caused the prices to skyrocket.

There is no sure-fire way to get the MG42, but your best shot is with the mystery box.

The rate of fire on an MG42 varied depending on what bolt was used, but optimal settings allowed for 1,500 rounds per minute. The M134 (otherwise known as a "minigun") fires at between 2,000-6,000 rounds per minute. So, to answer your question, the minigun fires much faster than the MG42, even with ideal configuration. Note: Keep in mind, however, that the MG42 did use a slightly larger round (7.92mm, as opposed to the miniguns' 7.62mm).
Yes it is. Few countries still use the MG42 Machine gun. These countries includes; Germany, Italy and Pakistan.
The MG42 Machine guncould either held a 50 or a 250 round belt.
No way to answer that. The MG42 fired the same cartridge as the MG34 and the Mauser K98 rifle.
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.
