I know I'm right, mate - I've personally seen one and had a good look underneath (I used to think it ejected out the side too). They have both a 34 and 42 at the Lithgow SAF, and sure enough, the dust covers are underneath.

There should be some videos of them being fired floating about Youtube which show it well. The casings come out from underneath while the belt links simply run right through the MG, coming out in long chains for ease of reloading. They had some sort of hand-cranked device which would reload an expended belt quickly and easily.

Not sure what other MGs eject downwards, but I know they do - I also know the MG34 can be fed from either side, the MG42 cannot.

I prefer the mg42 in red orchestra when the barrel gets hot the weapon is not anymore accurate and u can change it...in the mg 34 it doesn't have this tipe of posibility...i'm from romania and near my city there is a forest when in ww2 cruel battles were fought and from then nothing got out from there every time it is raining..u can clearly see the trenches barelles of mg and very much amo...
This summer i want to dig in the garden of my uncle cuz he said that there in ww2 a tiger tank was hidden for an ambush but then left there so i'm pretty curius if it is there...at least some pieces...

look at these pic a box found in finland...i think is amazing!!!!
