Is this an MG-34 ?

This is supposed to be US Army infantry in the Korean war. But that is a very Germanic looking (to me) machine gun at 6:29 and is certainly no Browning I am heard of. Am I right or am I confused?

Probably a 1919A6 without the bipod. Almost impossible to be sure from that angle, but that's what it should be.

And an MG34 would probably have been really hard to feed in Korea.

No, it is an M1919A6.

EDIT: Dammit, Kirk, read the responses, THEN post. Man, got to do better. Something to work on for 2020.

Yeah I know. I wasn't really buying that idea but I couldn't turn up any pictures of US gear that matched. Just stuff that looked more or less like this. And I see now this version was in fact 'inspired' by the MG-34 and 42 so that explains the similarites.

It's also kind of odd to realize that the US missile they show taking off is actually a V2

It's not odd at all. We won the war so screw what they had. Why would we want to go into the Korean War with air to air and surface to air missiles? Stealth fighters? Ballistic missiles capable of covering thousands of miles? Come on man, we had jets armed with .50 cal and aimed by mark 1 eyeballs...what could be better? Add purple as needed. (Idiots all around)

During US missile development and early ballistic missile testing the V2 style was heavily used. After all, Operation Paperclip allowed us to 'recruit' Werner von Braun, Hitler's missile designer.

The Russians were:
a) Better at collecting Nazi rocket scientist.
b) Better at motivating the ones they had collected.
c) All of the above.
