StG 44 Sturmgewehr in action!

[paulePpunkt]

this is my weapon(assault rifle)when i play Hidden&Dangerous2 in Czech4

[gaydanzig]

the guy shooting it was hot.

[7BeAsT9]

He looks like older brother of Jason Statham :)

[slyrader1]

got to hand it to therm man awsome weapons of war

[ptmccain]

Trigger control is pretty bad.

[DeathFeast16]

they just called it a mp44 to kept this new revolutionary project of a storm-rifle (stg) secret to hitler because he didnt want a storm-rifle

there is a story about a whole german company that was isolated behind russian lines.the luftwaffe dropped 5.000 of the sturmgewehr 44 into their region and the germans fought their way back with this new and effectice storm-rifle.

however the famous AK 47 ist totally based on this stg44

and the american at least such as famous m60 is based on the m42

[DeathFeast16]

they used the name MP44 after the first ''sturmgewehrs'' (STG44) where made because hitler stopped the project at this time he didnt realised how effective a NEW modern weapon would be.

he wanted the man to have their kar98's, their mp40's and (of course) the maschinengewehr 42.

and hitler met the soldiers on the eastern front and saw how accurate and good this weapon actually was so they head on with the project.there was NO difference between a mp44 and a stg44 because a mp44 never existed

[StiviGun1]

What type of operating mechanism does this rifle use?

[GreenyPoop]

The StG 44 sounds like pop tarts being shot through that barrel

[waffenfreund]

You write MP 44 Sturmgewehr. It's wrong. You must write Stgw 44, not MP! It's not a MP (Maschinenpistole / machine pistol) It's a Sturmgewehr / storm rifle!

[RZMvideoclips]

@waffenfreund Yes you are right, they did make a version of this automatic rifle with the stamping StG 44. However the Germans first used the name MP 44. The markings for Sturmgewehr's have the stamping MP-43 and then MP-43/1 and next was MP-44. There were plenty of weapons manufactured in 1945 which still had the MP 44 stamping. For this video I will make the title more agreeable to everyone and use StG 44 since this is the name everyone is used to today.

[waffenfreund]

@RZMvideoclips Okay it's interesting! But i come from germany an guns are my hobby (you see my name) I think the germans have stamp that so, because they dont know a name for this kind of gun. The name Sturmgewehr came maybe later

[taberr5]

@RZMvideoclips When they brought the weapon to Hitler he turned it down thinking it wasn't what they needed on the battlefield so they continued making it under the codename MP44 so Hitler would think it was just another machine pistol.

[ThePlacardman]

@RZMvideoclips

Its an assault rifle not a tec-9 machine pistol lol of course you have to use StG-44. MP44 was just used named to hide from Hitler .

[vaggelis1945]

@waffenfreund you mean Stg 44 :)

[waffenfreund]

@vaggelis1945 It's okay too, but we in german say write often Stgw

[vaggelis1945]

@waffenfreund you like Waffen SS???

[waffenfreund]

@vaggelis1945 do you think iam a nazi? i don'nt like wars or killing, but the constructions and history of guns (of WW2) are very interesting. do you need a german speaker?

[vaggelis1945]

@waffenfreund of cource not! i just ask you because i like SS.even if they were greece enemies i believe that they were very good and capable soldiers maybe the best in their age!!!:D and im also interested in ww2.. i like to read about greek resistanse,stalingrand(i hate soviets),pasific,okinawa,pelel­iou,!!!!! i love ww2!

[waffenfreund]

@vaggelis1945 okay cool, but you hasn't answered my question: Do you need a speaker

[vaggelis1945]

@waffenfreund ehhhh...what do you mean a german speaker?to translate german???

[waffenfreund]

@waffenfreund no, i mean a studiospeaker, i have i microphone, i can recording in high quality, but you just must say what you want, and than i will send it to you in english or german (german is easier for me)

[88pie88]

in my opinion k98k>stg

i fired the stg, you dont know if your hitting the target hen it was firing.

k98k, opean sight 300 yard pin point accuracy, aim for the gut at about 100 yards, expect a headshot. guaranteed never to jam, and cleaning easy. stg clips are to clumsy. you can hold 7 including the one in the gun. i can hold 20-30 5 round clips, no problem. tho 30 would be pushing it. 8mm round can shoot threw brick walls. the kurt roud probably make some holes. but wont kill the guy.

[oberchobo]

@88pie88 Sry but comparing these two rifles is just plain dumb. Those two weapons were made for two mainly different uses. K98 is very accurate but you couldn´t hold an enemy down with 15 shoots per minute. Or try to reload after your first shot went air when your enemy is just meters away aiming at you... Sry but people like you only knew weapons from your little shooting range or from video games. Ask soldiers which weapon they would prefer in battle and i can assure you it will be the stg44.

[88pie88]

@oberchobo insulting someone for a different opinion in weapons? thats pathetic. if i prefer a bolt action that a assault rifle then so be it. but quit trying to act like you know everything about weaponry. if you did know know everything about weaponry you would know that stg had jamming problems. Magazine had feeding issues when dirt,sand,snow,mud got in there. ammo was scarce. and why would i give a shit what a soldiers says. our soldiers only rely on air support now in days.

[oberchobo]

@88pie88 You fired a gun at a GUNRANGE and that makes you think you can decide which one is better in combat? Retarded kiddie.From the limited and little experience you have you think you got the right to judge the value of a 2nd world war weapon. Fuck, if the germans had your knowledge they would all have been equipped with K98 and would have owned the shit out of the allies. K98 and StG are complete different weapon types so don´t compare them, don´t judge them just stfu and gtfo.

[88pie88]

@oberchobo haha! kiddie, nice insult i suppose you think your a big boy tough internet guy because you call someone a kid, ill be nice and give you that. im just going to laugh in pity.

[AGeekWithAShotgun]

@88pie88

You comparing full sized rifle to an assault rifle, buddy...

[1bearcatf8f]

I just want a semi auto one and id be happy fully auto would keep the kids off the lawn.

[PharaohofEgypt1300]

yes a ak is a copy the creator said he didnt copy the stg but he did

[1bearcatf8f]

@PharaohofEgypt1300 Yeah its obvious he did sence they look pretty damn close.

[pkersoul]

i love the clicking ticking w/e it is sound of the bolt

[OPE08]

Thanks to those posters who I have been commenting with for a decent chat, its usually impossible to talk about this subject without people getting all violent and insulting in defense of their ideas...

[motlencore89]

if you really think about it it was impossible for the Russians to get theyre idea from the Germans , you ask why?? The Russians designed theyre short round in 1943, a year before the MP-44 or StG 44 was even feilded and was extremely top secret, kepta secret from Hitler himself. So if Kalashnikov started designing his weapon before they StG was even feilded, and theyre short round was developed before the weapon was feilded?? not to mention only the concept is the same, the firing mechinism ..

[Krieger91]

@motlencore89 Wrong. Look up Mkb.42

[jeebateeba56]

Cheers to the world's first assault rifle! The Nazis really were a clever bunch... way ahead of their time.

[OPE08]

@jeebateeba56 - the worlds first ar was the Russian Federov Avtomat, the Stg44 was the first "successful" AR, but it entered service decades after the federov...

[duanescot]

gotta love the dot 44s

[PacoNNL]

The weapon is called STG 44 x'DDD not MP 44

[masstrkiller]

@PacoNNL The reason for the different designation "STG 44" then the "MP" format was because the weapon was originally rejected by Hitler as he thought it was not the weapon needed for his army. The designation "STG 44" was given to hide the fact that it was being produced. Later on I believe that it was also called the "MP44".

[marodeur64]

The guy looks so authentic. Great job!

[youraverageuser]

cool

[CRH114]

where can i find this video?

[Ludendorf]

Advertisment...

But still nice video.I would it give it overall 4 stars, but I can't lol

Thumbs UP still.

[Syrioscool]

yes the ak is a copy from MP44 that i know for sure m16 what a bullshit lol

[GermanSniper666]

no SS collar tabs?

[bombarderoazul]

Cool uniform.

[Gab1n0III]

is ak 47 a copy of sturmgewer ?

[hugtango]

yes it is a copy

[esh325]

@hugtango, how is it a copy? I bet you can't tell me why. The M16 is actually a lot more similar to the STG44 then the AK-47 is.

[bluemaxia]

@esh325

erm,apart from they are chambered for entirely different rounds,have you ever seen the internal componets of these guys,stg 44 and ak 47 are almost identicle down to the internal components,except the ak 47 is an improvement in every aspect and has a different cocking mechanism,m16 is widly different,an entirely new breed of weapon system.

lol m16 smiliar to the stg44,dear oh dear

[esh325]

@bluemaxia, I have an AK, but not an STG44. The compents are not identical. They have the same gas system. The STG44 has a tilting bolt, the AK-47 has a rotating bolt similar to the M1 Garand. An improvement in every aspect? Maybe. The M16 isn't so widely different as you may think. The 2 part reciever of the M16 came from the STG44. The spring loaded duster cover of the M16 came from the STG44. The spring loaded stock obviously came from the STG44. The controls are similar to the STG44.

[OPE08]

@esh325 - and yet none of those parts you mention were invented for, or used first on, the stg44; so the question begs, that being true does it mean the stg was "based on" whatever it got those parts from?

Of course not, the M16 is the military version of the Ar15, which is the "light" version of the Ar10, which was built on combat tested components from a half-dozen different 1930's and 40's era weapons, the stg44 being only one...

[esh325]

@OPE08 There weren't really any rifles prior to the STG44 that had a spring loaded buttstock or two part reciever. The way the AR15 breaks open has a striking resemblance to the STG44. The dust cover no doubt comes from the STG44.

[OPE08]

@esh325 "really weren't", or weren't? The Mp38 and M1A1 carbine both had folding butt-stock variants, the spring is just a variant, not a whole new idea. But my point is that IF we say that "this was based on that because they look similar", then it must also be true that the stg is "based on" the M1 carbine?

Of course not, but it points to the issue the dust cover is very similar to the stg, but the hinged receiver is a FN design that owes its inspiration to simple break-barrel shotguns.

[esh325]

@OPE08 They don't just look similar, but they are mechanically similar. It couldin't be from the FN because the STG44 came before the FN, the FN FAL was also inspired by the STG44.

[OPE08]

@esh325 - they are not mechanically similar at all, and Belgiums Fabrique Nationale has been producing weapons since 1889, they had a few prior to the FAL, which you're right, the FAL is little more than a copy of the Stg up-gunned to chamber the NATO round, it was an AWESOME weapon, favored by many of the soldiers in Executive Outcomes.

[patsfanczar]

@bluemaxia Identical in every aspect? The StG. used a tilting bolt, the ak uses a rotating 2 lug bolt. The controls are also different. The AK is in no way a copy of the StG.

[bluemaxia]

@patsfanczar Can you not see the visual similarity,are you dim????

I didnt say they were identical in everyway,read english,i said ALMOST,cant you see the same barrel design,the magazine,the stock.Yes the stg uses tilt bolt and the ak a rotating one,I DID SAY THEY USE DIFFERENT COCKING MECHANISMS,again,read english.

And yes,it is a copy,but an improved one,Mikhail Kalashnikov designed the freaking thing based on an m1 garand and the stg44

[patsfanczar]

@bluemaxia "are almost identical down to the internal components". They are not. The controls are entirely different, the operating mechanism is entirely different, take down is entirely different. The only functional similarity is the fact they both use the long stroke piston, and the silhouettes are *somewhat* similar. The STG and AK have different *locking* mechanisms is what you meant to say.

[KnorpelDelux]

Yes it is though our friend Kalashnikov never said it is. Of course not 8)

[Utamivz808]

@Gab1n0III, designs of the AK47 were "inspired" by the MP44.

[riseld4]

Show me an assault rifle that wasnt and ill show you a liar.

[IronLion27]

@Gab1n0III

No its not and anybody who says it is doesn't know anything about guns.

[SrNutritivo]

@Gab1n0III no, AK 47 It´s entirely diferent. The evolution of Stg 44 is the spanish CETME (the famous G3 is the same built by HK in Germany) because some mauser engineers fleed to Spain at the end of the War.

[DerMeister2007]

@Gab1n0III No, the Kalashnikov is not a copy of the Sturmgewehr. The SKS is ;)

[Altonahk]

@Gab1n0III no, but Kalashnikov did get inspiration from it.

[SARKEK]

@Gab1n0III Kind of. The AK-47 was created by Mikhail Kalashnikov but the man who helped him design it was Hugo Schmeisser, the creator of the Sturmgewehr.

[OPE08]

@SARKEK - Not true, schmeisser was brought in after design and prototyping were complete, he helped in production

[SARKEK]

@OPE08 I've seen preliminary designs for the AK-47 that look nothing like the current design. It was my understanding that Schmeisser played a pivotal role in the design of the final product.

[OPE08]

@SARKEK - and how would that be possible when Kalashnikov began his designs in 1943? I doubt seriously that Schmeisser would have gotten a free pass to come and go between the R&D departments of two Nations at war.

.

Kalashnikovs first weapons ideas were for SMG's, already very popular in the USSR, both he and Simonov entered "AR" concepts for the governments consideration...

[SARKEK]

@OPE08 Supposedly after the war ended in 1945 (EF) Schmeisser worked with Kalashnikov to refine the design for production in 1947.

[OPE08]

@SARKEK - whenever the word "supposedly" is used, you should automatically mis-trust the story. I've yet to see any evidence that he "helped" on reworking the design, I have seen quite a few anecdotal stories claiming he helped with re-working the production facilities.

The "AK47 vs Stg44" debates, like quite a few others, are all hampered by the claims and unfounded beliefs of ALOT of people who really want to believe their pre-conceived notions, and hate a challenge to nazi myth stories...

[2TapeKilla]

@Gab1n0III ya

[Buster0815ger]

@Gab1n0III

yes the STG was seen by sowjet units, so they build there own ...the AK47

[airsoftbuddy83]

@Gab1n0III yep

[1bearcatf8f]

@Gab1n0III Pretty much yeah sence russia seems to copy everything.

[r8wing]

@Gab1n0III

Absolutely not. The StG has a tilting bolt, the AK a rotating one. The StG has an inline stock, the AK doesn't. The cocking handle of the StG is on the left, AK's is on the right, also the way the two guns are stripped is very different. The Russians didn't need to copy anything, they already had all the know-how about how to make a gas-operated rifle.

[Olekrok]

@Gab1n0III nope

[HaroldRetrotyp]

@Gab1n0III yes a really bad copy, th eSTG is better

[TheFluffy47]

@Gab1n0III Yes the AK47 is based on the STG44. Mikhail Kalashnikov designed it in 1947, he liked the simplicity of the STG design also its auto and semi capability.

[5hiThAppEnS2]

@Gab1n0III the design was adopted

[Cornerless]

@Gab1n0III Yes. Many of all modern combat rifles are inspirated by this german rifle, like AK-47. Generally the german war machines were the basics af many modern weapons (look at the V1 rocket)

[evilstephen90]

@Gab1n0III yes but no it was mainly just based off of it, but you could say it is i assume.

[puristthunder]

@Gab1n0III yea i think so cuz it really looks like ak 47

[BTVRF]

@BTVRF AS-44(Avtomat Sudaeva)--->AK-46-->AK-47

[darlthris]

@Gab1n0III lets put it this way, nazi germany copied their rifles, the soviets copied their. revenge at best.

[waffenfreund]

@Gab1n0III Sturmgewehr

[12PaulJ]

Very Silent weapon.

[lowanfast]

Very low volume level.

[Lockbar]

Nice uniorm and gun. Looked like a real soldier.

[anteracmacash]

dosen't the front part of the gun get hotter ???I mean I don't see any hand protection in the front of the gun...

[regusted]

I'd like to get your Sturmgewehr book. What is the publication date? Is it more recent than the Senich book? Thanks!

[Sturmmann]

that M44 dot camo is bad ass

[Howie262]

The true name of this gun is really STG-44.

mp44 was a desguise name to trick hitler.

it was a fake name.

People can debate the name all day, but it truely is stg-44.SturmGewehr jahr neunhunderdvierundvierzich.

[Howie262]

German-Style BITCH!

[Ragnar1001]

Klingt ja witzig^^

[bellator11]

Excellent video

[ImperialGuard9001]

Great Weapon

[NoComment0531]

Beautiful gun.

[DARIVSARCHITECTVS]

I finally was able to afford and buy one of these. Though the weapon sometimes jams, it has the combined flexibility of a rifle and a submachinegun. Recoil is moderate. I'm not fond of making the cartridges for it, however because it's a lot of work! Mine is stamped "MP-44" and was made also in the year 1944.

[Ragnar1001]

The real name of this Weapon is Sturmgewehr 44 (maybe stormrifle)

[Sturm119]

@Ragnar1001 Its real name was the MP44, in order to trick Hitler into thinking it was just another variate in the MP series but was later changed to Sturmgewehr in 1944 by Hitler, (after he found out) for propaganda reasons.

[Ragnar1001]

Hör mir auf mit Propaganda. Eine richtige Maschinenpistole ist es nicht und als reines Gewehr kann man es auch niche bezeichnen. Das Stgw 44 war eine Mischung aus dem Gewehr (Rifle) und der Maschinenpistole (MP - Submachinegun)

[Ragnar1001]

Außerdem interessiert mich nicht Politik sondern Waffentechnik.

[Sturm119]

Ja, du hast rechts...

Von 1942 bis 1944 wurde es offiziell die MP(43/ 44) genannt und der Name wurde auf die Waffen und die Magazine eingeschlagen.

[Ragnar1001]

Die MP hatte eine gute Schußfolge aber die Reichweite war eher bescheiden. Das Gewehr (98 k ) hatte ne gute Reichweite aber dadurch daß die Kampfentfernungen so gering geworden waren, reichte die Schußfolge nicht mehr aus.

[Ragnar1001]

........und so entwarf man eine Waffe die die Vorteile von Gewehr und Maschinenpistole vereinten. So entstanden auch Waffen wie die AK 47 oder M16. Mit der Aussage über die alte Bezeichnung hattest du auch recht. Aber mit der Bezeichnung Sturmgewehr hatte es einen Namen bekommen der aufgrund der Konstruktion zutreffender war.

[AIPTEKHD1080p720p]

My fav. assault rifle of all time

[MP43SNIPER]

Coulda been an MP43 for all we know they are identical.

[SStotenkopfgruppen]

its just the same mp and stg 44 are the same guns

[Lightning997]

that was the stg-44 not the mp44

[Ericthefilo]

its the same thing u bleeding retard, mp44 was the exact model just renamed by hitler.

The older models are mkb42 and mp43

[watzman123321123321]

same gun man

[jw870206]

The granddaddy of the AK-47
