I'm not an expert on any of these laws but after doing extensive "Google" work trying to find the answer to this question I have found that although difficult to find, yes you can legally purchase an MG42.
The difficulty of finding one of these magnificent weapons also multiplies depending on what aspect of the firemarm you are going for. If you just think its a cool gun, and want to put a few rounds down range, then it shouldn't bee too difficult to locate a seller of a replica weapon. Finding a fully automatic version will again be much more difficult requiring various permits and understanding of your local laws. However, the hardest of all purchases is for the WWII buff who is purchasing the weapon for its historical meaning. Not only are there VERY few original MG42s in private ownership, but finding an owner who would sell his prized piece could be just about impossible.
In conclusion, while this firearm is certainly not the easiest to obtain, it can be done, and in my opinion (as im sure many others feel as well) well worth the effort and cost.

Which gun shoots faster the mini gun or MG42?
The rate of fire on an MG42 varied depending on what bolt was used, but optimal settings allowed for 1,500 rounds per minute. The M134 (otherwise known as a "minigun") fires at between 2,000-6,000 rounds per minute. So, to answer your question, the minigun fires much faster than the MG42, even with ideal configuration. Note: Keep in mind, however, that the MG42 did use a slightly larger round (7.92mm, as opposed to the miniguns' 7.62mm).

Is the MG42 better than a shotgun?
Yes because the MG42 can kill much more faster than a shotgun. The MG42 can also reload really quickly and kill more zombies than a shotgun. If some anti-zombies were you they will take the MG42 instead of the shotgun because the shotgun is the weakest weapon than the MG42. Shotguns can kill a couple of zombies per minute but the MG42 can kill over 1,000 zombies per minute and can really beat the shotgun. The MG42 is way much more better than the shotgun so the answer is yes.
