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!

@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.

@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.

@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 .
