The MG3 and its latest version the H&K MG5 come from the MG42, which is the infamous portable machine gun that started it all. This weapon was so well made that to this very day, the modern German Armed forces are still using the basically SAME flippin’ machine gun they used all the way back in World War II.

Its mechanics remain largely unchanged over the past 70 years, which shows how well engineered this weapon system was in the first place; if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The major military powers that aren’t using the MG3 are using weapons that borrow heavily from its design - that's how influential this gun has been.
