MGs had high cyclic rate, while the Sturmgewehr had really low cyclic rate.

FG42 also had low cyclic rate, which is why the M60 had low cyclic rate. M60 is an FG42 with MG42 feed tray mechanism and cover basically.

With MP44 Sturmgewehr on automatic mode, you can maintain really nice rate of fire on-target on runners within short distances because it has low cyclic rate and constant recoil operating principle.

You can easily break single shots on automatic mode too since the cyclic is so slow.

Jim Sullivan developed some different components to try to make the AR-15 more like that, with the Rate Reducing Buffer, but I like the normal cyclic rate on semi in the AR since recovery is quite easy for a trained shooter.
