Sturmgewehr MP-44 Part I: Mechanics

The MP-43 (which is mechanically identical to the MP-44 and StG-44; the differences are the subject for another video later) is a tilting bolt rifle with a long stroke gas piston. It was manufactured primarily from complex sheet steel stampings, as a way to minimize the amount of high-quality and thus difficult to acquire steels needed for its construction. The rifle is heavy by today's standards, but remarkably ergonomic (except for the metal handguard, when heats up quickly). Its sights come right up to the eye when shouldering the rifle, and it disassembles quickly and easily.
It really is one of the best small arms developed during World War II.

One of the more interesting things to happen to me in Iraq, was recovering three StG-44's outside of Fallujah in a weapons cache. Two worked, one was missing the stock assembly. They were beat up, but functional. Also recovered four magazines, and two partial ammo cans of 8mm Short with the guns. Often wondered what kind of story they could have told about ending up in the hands of insurgents in Iraq from their beginning in Nazi Germany..

@Seth9809 7 лет назад

Then Syria happened and more of these weapons were found.

Two years late I know but a bunch of Nazi commando types were invited to or fled to the Middle East, Egypt and Syria most prominently, to modernize their armies since they had the most experience in combat and killing Jews. Syria bought a bunch of STG 44s and issued them for years before they got AKs.

"Зимой 1942-1943 годов советские войска на Волховском фронте завладели трофейными автоматическими карабинами Mkb.42(H). Новый автомат привлёк внимание советских военных, и в июле 1943 года на специальном заседании технического совета Наркомата вооружений заговорили об иностранных автоматических винтовках. Речь шла не только о Mkb.42(H), но и о поставленном по программе ленд-лиза американском карабине M1 Carbine калибра 7,62×33 мм. По результатам обсуждения было принято решение о том, что возможно и нужно создавать оружие аналогичного класса с эффективной дальностью стрельбы порядка 400-500 м[3].". So in winter of 1942 , Mkb.42(H)+M1 Carbine => Inspiration of "People's Commissariat of Defense of the Soviet Union" => AS-44 => partially inspiration => AK-47

As we look at the discussion about expensive/cheap part combinations, plywood is partially an invention of WW2 Germany. Running out of the wood that was sufficient for the K98 rifle, German engineers realized that a laminate of thin slices of high quality oak or ash wood glued in with slices of birch or pine would produce an equal or even superior stock, and if alternating directions of grain were used it would not warp under moisture.

@Dapstart Год назад

While I understand you said "Partially", plywood board was already in common use in the US in the 1880s, and the concept of laminating wood traces itself back to antiquity, with the ancient Egyptians making use of it. On the other hand I agree that in terms of wartime gun stocks, the german use of plywood is quite innovative. Outside of guns though wood lamination is a very old thing

@quincy8557 7 лет назад

Jeremy J. I am afraid I am sir, just google Syria and MP44 and you can see rebels opening an arms storage room containing at least 5000 MP44 assault rifles which were stored there. There is also footage of them being used in combat. The Russians captured large stocks of these guns and the East Germans used them until AK47's were available in large numbers. It seems like a quantity went to then Russian ally Syria some how. There were large stocks of ammo which I would imagine that they used fairly quickly. The rebels originally thought they were AK's but they soon realised that they were not but used them anyway. Its a real crime, i would love one, cant afford £10,000 though

by the time these were being issued, germany had had fuel, food, wood, mineral shortages for 2-4 years. unlike the russians and allies, germany had severe rationing starting the day they invaded poland. the had the logistics worked out to where if the were halted at any point for any delay. up until the complete occupation of norway and france, defeat would be inevitable. and similarly they knew they would only have 3-6 months of fuel left to take moscow. steel on the other hand along with the best steel related craftsman on earth they did have. the germans played extremely high odds, stupidly high. but every day the gap grew bigger so no better time than now.

Kind of depends on what you consider to be an assault rifle. The M2 Carbine is both select fire and in an intermediate cartridge (arguably, anyway; .30 Carbine is not a pistol cartridge, and it's definitely not a full-powered rifle cartridge, though it is underpowered compared to most intermediate rounds), and was fielded late in WW2, possibly making it the second.

HELP WANTED!!! There is a lever on the right side of the lockwork, in WORLD OF GUNS it is named CATCH LEVER. I am trying to figure out its function. Maybe some kind of inertia safety device, but I just can't understand it using just WORLD OF GUNS. Any ideas? The inner portion has the trigger and sear, on the left side we have a very complex lever to struck the "disconnector" (that sear which catches the hammer when the trigger is pressed) when the gun is in full auto; the lever on the right side is the problem. Looking more closely, looks like something to prevent the trigger from moving when the bolt is manually operated, but the part on WORLD OF GUNS is too short and it is not clear that the bolt pushes it forward when the gun is in battery. Some models in WOG have errors (I found errors in Colt Python's hand and the UZI ratchet cover).

I have an MP43/1 here in England, it was deactivated, I had to give up my live firing MP44! My 43 is built with am Mkb42 upper receiver but with a stepped barrel! 😳
