Info
Developed by Nazi Germany in 1942, based on Haenel MKb 42(H) prototype. It was known as the MP43, MP44 (despite it being a full-sized rifle, not a submachine gun as the 'MP' designation would indicate), and finally as the StG 44 (Sturmgewehr = assault rifle) as development on the rifle progressed. The rifle is the first "assault rifle" developed which can shoot medium power "intermediate" ammunition, and was the precursor of all the world's major assault rifles, most notably the AK-47.
The Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifle appears in the following movies, video games, and anime used by the following actors:
