About Rheinmetall MG 13
The Maschinengewehr 13 or MG 13 (Machine Gun 13) was a German Army general purpose machine gun in 30's. Although the MG 13 was officially superseded in the late 1930's, it continued to be used in the German Army until the end of World War II. It was based on the old Schmeisser-designed Dreyse M10 of WWI. All German machine guns had been given designations which included the last two digits of the year of adoption. The MG13 was the first prominent exception. It came with a carry handle and folding tubular butt stock. The MG13 was originally standardized with a 25-round magazine that fed into the left side of the receiver. When the last cartridge in the magazine was fired, a bolt stop, actuated by the empty magazine, held the bolt open. Later, a 75-round double-drum magazine, officially designated Patronentrommel 13, was developed. The MG13 did not have a recoil booster. A flash hider was provided, but, to decrease the length, the gun could be used without it. There was also a blank-firing attachment, to be installed at the muzzle when firing blanks.
