Volkssturmgewehr 1-5 - 7.92x33mm Kurz

The Volkssturmgewehr 1-5 (or VG 1-5) was designed by Karl Barnitzke of the Gustloff-Werke during the final stages of World World II. It was a part of the Primitiv-Waffen-Programm, and was intended to provide a semi-automatic rifle to the Volksstrum- the militia raised to defend German cities from the allied forces. The rifle was hastily designed and constructed, and was meant to provide a crude but relatively cheap rifle that could be manufactured quickly and easily. The result was a gas-blowback operated rifle firing the 7.92×33mm Kurz, and utilizing Sturmgewehr 44 30 round magazines. The weapon featured fixed front and rear iron sights. The first production model was designated as the MP507. A second model, designated as MP508, added a forward grip.
