    Not sure if that's the shell case at 14:00 just to the Rt of the front sight (Or pic error) who ever they are slinging lead at is up high, possibly sniper!!!

    That line unless there are vehicles out of sight on the left it would make a bit of a juicy target for an MG 42 operator.

    I don't think the North Koreans or Chinese used the MG42 much, if at all.

    On the other hand a friend of mine...long gone now, told me he DID see mostly Japaneseicon weapons while he was there. I thought that was interesting.

    Looks to me like a bird was sitting on that wire and in the act of flying off as the pic was taken.
