Cooking Some Bacon – The Machine Gun Method

Making breakfast couldn’t get any more manly:

I’ve discovered a new way of cooking bacon. All you need is: bacon, tin foil, some string, and.. oh whats it called?… oh yeah, an old worn out 7.62mm machinegun that is about to be discarded, and about 200 rounds of ammunition.

1) You start by wrapping the barrel in tin foil. Then you wrap bacon around it, and tie it down with some string.

2) you then wrap some more tin foil around it, and once again tie it down with string.

3) It is now ready to be inserted into the cooking device. I ripped the tin foil a little bit getting the barrel inserted. that part of the bacon got severely burned by hot gasses.

4) After just a few short bursts you should be able to smell the wonderful aroma of bacon.

5) I gave this about 250 rounds. but I think around 150 might actually be enough. But then again I don’t mind when bacon is crispy. Ahh the smell of sizzling bacon mixed with the smell of gunpowder and weapon oil.

6) And the end result: Crispy delicious well done bacon.

He should have bust some eggs downrange onto a hot skillet, or shot some oranges to make some juice!

The gun appears to be a German Rheinmetall MG 3 Machine gun.  It’s rate of fire is approximately 1150 rounds /min.

Too bad I don’t have anything with a high enough rate of fire to try this :(  I guess could work on my bump firing skills…. I can see it now “Bump Fire Bacon”!

      You have done that? LOL sounds like it would work, but you’d have a lot of explaining to do if you wrecked the engine rather than use the chem heater

    2. I’ve done this many times with a HEMMT (big truck). You leave it in at idle for a few minutes, and then high idle for a second (Which shoots the MRE into the air. I got to where I could approximately aim my MREs by how I parked my truck, before I was out of the Ammo platoon and firing munitions. I guess the MREs were just practice for a budding redleg.

      Just don’t leave it in too long. I did this over 100 times and never broke anything, though.

  9. ummmm. lead poisoning? What about mercury from primers maybe? Awesome except for the fact that you wasted bacon and you could have just eaten it if cooked normally.

    1. Pussy. Real men aren’t worried about lead and mercury. We eat that for breakfast, and shit it out for lunch.

      Where is the lead and mercury coming into contact with the bacon? No candyasses allowed.

    5. mountain Avatar

      me:

      They haven’t used mercury in primers since before the second world war. Just stay away from old ammo and you’ll be all right!

    6. Modern primers are mercury free (that’s what made them corrosive in ye olden days)

      Jacketed slugs leave no lead behind….

      Copper is good for the reproductive system in men…

      But yeah, I agree with the bit about some of the bacon likely being lost.

      Seems he should weld a skillet to the barrel. *Then* he’d be cookin’!

    Get it right: that’s cooking bacon with an MG 42!! The MG 3 is basically the German MG 42 (maschingewehren modell 1942).

    That’s the way to do it!!

    1. Admin (Mike) Avatar
      Admin (Mike)

      I don’t think so.. the MG 42 is 7.92x57mm Mauser.

  28. I love the smell of manly bacon in the morning. Smells like…victory.

  29. boarwild Avatar

    Mike – true, but the MG 3 is a re-chambered MG 42 round. everything else is the same. They cut down on the rate of fire a little bit, 1150 as opposed to 1500.

    1. Admin (Mike) Avatar
      Admin (Mike)

      ah gotcha. I get what you’re saying, that a MG 3 is a modified MG 42, but wasn’t I still right in calling it a MG 3 then? Considering it doesn’t shoot 7.92×57mm Mauser.

  30. So far so good, but, how about wrapping dough around the barrel of the MA-Duce, for crispy biscuits. Fire up the Hummer and get the exhust manifold hot and stir up some good bacon drippings gravy, and poach a couple eggs and have a REAL “Down South” breakfast. Idle minds come up with stuff like this…….

  31. boarwild Avatar

    The model is of 1942 design, so it can be called an MG 42. with the standardisation of rounds for NATO, they kept the same 1942 design but rechambered it 7.62 and cut down (somewhat) it’s voracious appetite for ammunition. we’re really just splitting hairs here. if look at both, they’re practically identical.

    for the record, i’ve never understood why the US Military used both the water-jacketed M1917 and the M1919A3 (if memory serves me correctly here) straight thru Korea. they were both basically obsolete and had a low rate of fire (600 rpm). i’ve talked to veterans, and they said that ripping, buzz saw-like report of the MG 42 chilled them to the bone and wasn’t good for morale. we copied it with the M60 but rate of fire was still the same.

  32. boarwild Avatar

    to be clear: the M1919A3 was air cooled.

    OH THE BEEMANITY.

  40. Weapon is an MG42 (8mm Mauser ammo) that was later redesignated as an MG3 when it was rechambered for the 7.62 NATO (roughly, 308 Winchester) cartridge. Very accurate for a machine gun, and really spits out the ammo (up to 1200RPM). Very revolutionary reciever design that was about fifty years ahead of its time. Most modern machine guns copy the technology used to develop this one.

      How is that sad? it has a higher rate of fire than any other single-barrel mg, which isn’t always needed but when the shit hits the fan and you gotta put rounds down range this is the gun for the job. That and it’s relatively light for a 7.62 belt-gun, easy barrel swaps, and its sexsay!

    Well it migth be an old weapon, but it’s a good weapon.
    It works, and there is not a lot of moving parts that can break.
    And easy to replace things that eventuly break.

    Look at the M2 Browning machine gun. It’s from 1933 and is still in use today (even by the USA) and there is no real replacement for it
