Which one is better in terms of lethality: mg42 vs browning?

Answer:

The German MG42 was a much newer weapon that the Browning and could fire up to 1200 rounds per minute while the Browning was restricted to only 600 rounds per minute. Being able to fire twice as many bullets meant that the MG42 was far more lethal, but could also be more uncontrollable. In general, however, the MG42 was seen as a more formidable and lethal weapon.
