Weren't the Germans trying to solve the "fleeting target" problem with the high cyclic rate of MG34 and MG42?
Fleeting target issue is a thing. In "With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa" Sledge tells the story on Okinawa they had to run back and forth from one mound to another, and every time they were briefly exposed in the gap a Japanese machine gun opened up on them, and it was causing problems. They solved it by parking a Sherman in the gap for cover and ran behind it.
Pretty sure the increased recoil of 6.8 NGSW is not gonna help the fleeting target problem despite fancy sights. Maybe you only get one shot before recovering your sight picture while a milder cartridge gets three? Don't know....
