MG 81Z – a Brief Historical Overview

The MG 81Z (German "Zweiling" – twin) was a German twin-barrel 7.92 mm machine gun used by the Luftwaffe during the Second World War. It mainly served as defensive armament in gunner positions on bombers and other transport aircraft, such as: Junkers Ju 88, Heinkel He 111, and Dornier Do 17. Thanks to its twin-barrel configuration, the MG 81Z offered increased rate of fire (up to 3,200 rounds per minute), making it an effective tool for defense against Allied fighters.
