The MG 81 is a German air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun that was used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. It was designed by the company Rheinmetall-Borsig and saw widespread use on various aircraft, including the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190.
The MG 81 had a rate of fire of around 1,500 rounds per minute and was chambered for the 7.92x57mm Mauser cartridge. It was usually mounted in a flexible mount in the rear cockpit of fighters or in a fixed mount in the wings of bombers.
The MG 81 was eventually replaced by the MG 131, which was a more powerful and reliable weapon. However, the MG 81 continued to be used on some aircraft until the end of the war.
Today, the MG 81 is a popular collector's item among firearms enthusiasts and historians due to its historical significance and innovative design.
