STG44 HISTORY

By 1942, the Germans had working assault rifle design Mkb42 (H) that had passed its combat debut, but before it could go to mass production, it needed design refinement and Hitlers approval, of which the latter was negative. To avoid Hitlers wrath, production continued under new designation the Maschinen Pistol 43 (MP43), and after minor modifications, the MP44 was introduced.

Due to the glowing combat reports and numerous requests for the MP43/MP44 from field commanders, Hitler changed his mind in late 1943, and subsequently, the program received high priority status. Hitler then named the MP44 the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG 44), or "assault weapon", in effect sealing the birth of world's first true assault rifle.

In WWII the MP43, MP44 and StG44 were mostly employed in the Eastern Front until the Battle of the Bulge where the new Volksgrenadier formations employed StG44 in relatively large numbers. Despite the firepower advantage of Stg44 ammunition was in short supply as the 7.92 x 33mm kurz cartridges had not been used before in vast quantities.

Field reports indicated that the increased firepower of the individual soldier helped Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units to fight off superior enemy forces. Captured examples were used by Allied soldiers, but many of the 400,000+ MP43/MP44/StG44s never were distributed effectively to the frontline units, as Third Reich infrastructure was collapsing under the weight of the Allied offensive, just at the time when production had started to reach significant numbers.

  • dude fuck this shit the ppsh 41 from russia we will own the us anyday

  • @xXqScOpEsXx ok for a start this isnt a 'us' gun or whatever it is you think. This is a German rifle and is the worlds first assault rifle. The ppsh 41 is a sub machine gun firing pistol ammunition where as the Stg44 fires kurz (shortened) rifle ammunition. The Stg therfore has more range, power and accuracy than the ppsh. Moreover the Stg has selective fire. oh dear you FAILED. Also learn your history son.

  • @fallschirmjager0000 Um you are right but I'm pretty sure he didn't mention anything about history "son"

  • @doulikepanckakes Well by comparing two 'historical' firearms he was talking about history. He got his information wrong so I suggested him to read into the history of the weapons so he would get his facts right. End of story "son"

  • Here I am getting ready for a "POW" and I hear "phtik".. lol, at that moment I thought "Ah..Airsoft" Regardless, nice rifle.

  • @sacr3 thanks mate :)

  • @bluemooonrising12 The first Sturmgewehrs actually saw service in 1943, of course in very limited numbers both on the Eastern and Western Fronts.

  • @xXqScOpEsXx Haha its funny cause the Thompson M1A1 had a higher barrel velocity and a higher firing rate, don't believe call of duty they shot it way out of proportion.

  • @WICHOPY thanks

  • cool rifle

  • @fallschirmjager0000 yeah cause hitler was too much of a hardheaded, stubborn psycho to realize that assault rifles and submachineguns were the future of warfare... if he had allowed the development of this firearm earlier in the war and allowed it and the mp40 to be the general issue weapon for all troops, the nazis would have won ww2...
