United States
Except modern MGs all have a rate of fire similar to the MG34 for a reason. The US actually reduced the rate of fire of their machineguns because empirical studies showed that higher rates of fire simply wasted ammunition past a certain point. A burst from a 600 rpm machinegun was just as effective as a 900 or 1500 rpm burst in ground combat.
Accuracy =! recoil, a weapon can still be inaccurate on a tripod. The MG-42 had lots of vibration due to the high rate of fire so it had considerable dispersion, which was actually helpful in a defensive situation since you're fighting large groups of advancing infantry, you don't need to be pinpoint.
It was a good defensive weapon, but it had several downsides and wasn't the Greatest Weapon Ever Made™ like a lot of people seem to believe.
