Hello.
The MG42 HMG is a Machinegun Team of four men with a Machinegun mounted on tripod (usually), carrying extra ammo, replacement gun barrels, whose intention is give heavy support and long range fire.
The MG42 LMG (Light Machinegun) is the same Machinegun without tripod, usually mounting a much lighter bipod, that is the basic Firepower of an infantry squad. Usually is a team of two men.
The tripod, extra men, barrels, ammo, etc.. of the HMG (Heavy Machine Gun) give fire accuracy, sustained fire, and firepower greater than its squad (LMG) version.
¿OK? :D
