Gewehr 43

Info

One of three semi-automatic rifles issued by Germany (the others being the FG 42 and the Gewehr 41) during WW II. This weapon itself was an evolution of the Gewehr 41 (made by Mauser and Walther). The Gewehr 43 was made exclusively by Walther and addressed many of the problems the 41 encountered during the invasion of the Soviet Union (in particular the gas system and use of stripper clips instead of a removable box magazine).
