Hello
Has anyone done muzzle flash in their MG34?
How have you done it?
Or can you buy such an MG34?
Greetings

Do you mean the cupola mounted MG34?
Steve Winstone used to do the front part of the barrel only.

In Austria I know someone build muzzle flash for gattling in Heli. Unfortunatly hav'nt found his page yet.
This is not a MG34 but I think a good solution for muzzle flash.

It's probably not what you're looking for but I drilled a tiny (really tiny) hole through the barrel of a 1/16 MG 34 and wired in a micro
led buried in the flash hider. This was for a top mounted MG on a StuG III. The hair like wires are easy to conceal.

It's under the control of an MFC system.

MG simulation

If a led can fit in one that tiny a 1/6 scale MG would be a piece of pie...

Just a hint: the Beier sound module allowes synchronizing MG flash LED and sound.

Another solution is a real MG, firing 6 mm blank cartridges out of a rotating cylinder, even with general permission; I mean.

Well, a friend of mine has this real MG in his Helicopter. Very impressive!
