MG42 Mug
"MG" is short for Maschinen Gewehr (translated: machine gun). "42" is for the year it was designed, 1942. The MG42 was a multipurpose light machine gun designed by the Germans during WWII. It replaced the MG34 which was costly to manufacture and sensitive to fowling up in the mud. The MG42 was fast and cheap to manufacture, and they were produced in large numbers (estimates of no less than 400,000) by many companies including Grossfuss, Mauser-Werke, Gustloff-Werke, Steyr-Daimler-Puch. MG42 was rarely mounted on vehicles (this job was usually left to MG34s); instead its main use was by infantry. Usually it was used with its folding bipod. Ammunition was the 7.92x57mm cartridge (the same as was used in the standard rifles). It was belt-fed from either 50-round cone-shaped containers or 250-round boxes. Its rate of fire was 1200-1300 rpm, so the gun generated large amounts of heat. Extra barrels were carried along, and needed to be changed about every 200-300 rounds during sustained fire. The MG42’s tremendously high rate of fire gave it the nickname “Hitler’s zipper” for the sound it made. It was well-liked and well ahead of its time -- by far one of the best machine guns of World War II. Modified versions are still in use by NATO forces, and the U.S. M60 is also based on the MG42. SPECIFICATIONS Caliber: 7.92x57 mm Mauser Weigth: 11.5 kg on bipod; 18 kg on light AA (anti-aircraft) tripod; 32 kg on infantry tripod Length: 1220 mm Length of barrel: 530 mm Feeding: belt, 50 or 250 round Rate of fire: 1200 - 1300 rounds/min Muzzle velocity: 710 m/s

I bought a Prone mug and i love it its so good imma prone to the bathroom now brb
This mug gives my life purpose. It's what I've always said. Patience is a virtue and hard work never betrays. Ever since I was born I've been struck with one misfortune after another, but today it all paid off. I got my own mug, and I use it anywhere and whenever I can! Both of my legs are shattered because to my wife threw me in the middle of traffic and my windpipe is messed up due to me screaming all the way from the crash site to the hospital thanks to the unbearable pain I was feeling. Although even with all that's happened this is still the best day of my life. I suppose the only problem I have is that whenever I happen to look at my cup I get a little too happy. That causes problems because my life support can't handle my exhilaration, haha! I'm just kidding; that was just a little lighthearted joke of mine. I actually cannot afford life support because I spent all of my life savings on this fine piece of pottery. Not to worry though! I can get through the pain with my will and drugs - I mean medication. P.S. There are definitely no ghosts in the mugs. Just wanted to point that out in case someone was worried about that.
I bought two mugs as gifts for coworkers and they were very pleased. The print was clear and concise. Hopefully they last a long time.
Ordered a gift for a friend I hope he likes it :)

My Name is Walter Hardwell White, My Mug was sent to 308 Negra Aroyal Lane, AQ, New Mexico and arrived on-time and I am very satisfied. My "Glock Dookie" mug is great for my lab work, and my friend Pinkman loves it!
I love this cup! My now ex-husband loves his opioids more than life itself. He would constantly pass out dead to the world the only thing I would here was his death moans. I had to call an aid car for him so many time that I can't remember plus 2 or 3 times the doctors told me that if it wasn't for me, he would have died. Her abandoned me after I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer because I was of no use to him any longer. I have no clue now who must be the one that's obligated to save his life any longer. All I know is I'm free from him now. The only thing I'm waiting for is that he finally overdoses himself & he's dead. I am buying a cup to send to him for our divorce anniversary gift so he can keep it in memory of how he treated me.
I loved it! Excellent quality!
I received the mug as a gift from a friend with whom I exchange "Weekaversary" eMails. I love the concept but am wondering why "aniversary" is spelled with only one "n?"
Wish it had the example text as well, but I loved it anyway
It’s great to be able to create your own mug.
My name is is Geet and literally this is literally a gem of a souvenir to have with me XD.
I love to put my lips on this in the morning
