Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I'm wondering if the "Fur MG" indicates it's a machinegun load... and likely hotter than regular rifle ammunition. "For Machine Gun" would be "Für Maschinengewehr" in German Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
