	The '''Wetzlar Rifle'''. Chambered for the 7.92×57mm Mauser rifle round. It used standard 5-round stripper clips to fill the fixed internal magazine. To operate, the "bolt" handle is actually attached to the barrel, and pushed forward to feed a new round to a fixed bolt and breech face. The semi-automatic carbine based on the Wetzlar Rifle is called [[Volkssturmgewehr#Wetzlar_Carbine\|Wetzlar Carbine]], with the cartridge changed to 7.92×33mm Kurz.

			The Erma Werke '''Volksgewehr 45''' is a German prototype bolt-action rifle developed in the 1945. During the "Primitiv-Waffen" program, the Erma Werke company designed its rifle. It was supposed to be a full-fledged bolt-action rifle powered by [[StG 44]] magazines. At a certain stage of development, the company stopped producing the weapon. The shortened variant was to be produced by Rheinmetall and called Volksgewehr 45K. Probably only one copy was made.
