During one of my wandering mind moments...
It is well-known that Nazi Germany was on the cutting edge of a lot of technology. Is there anything to indicate that they had started working on improved metallurgy to increase the service life of firearms bores? The MG42 had to be a glutton for barrels. Obviously, all the major powers had quick-change barrels on many of their machineguns. So back to my original query - are there any clues that the Germans were developing anything to extend bore life of their WW2 high-rate weapons?
Peace,
Matt
