Info

Developed by Nazi Germany in 1942, based on Haenel MKb 42(H) prototype, the Sturmgewehr rifle would revise the long-forgotten concept of an "assault rifle" (a concept developed in Russia in 1916, but wasnt popular with military leaders in Russia, and wasnt built on until the STG) . It was known as the MP43, MP44 (despite it being a full-sized rifle, not a submachine gun as the 'MP' designation would indicate), and finally as the StG 44 (Sturmgewehr = storm rifle) as development on the rifle progressed. The STG 44 was the first assault rifle able to be made cheaply, with good quality, an put into a highly effective design, until this point, assault rifles were usually difficult to produce, suffered high recoil, or were not reliable. The STG's platform layout was the precursor of all the world's modern assault rifles, most notably the AK-47.
