MKB-42 - best gun of WWII and precursor to the AK-47.

Actually most of the experimental rifles remind me of the G-3 rather than the AK-47.
Which is hardly a suprise as Mr. Heckler and Mr. Koch worked for Mauser in WW2.
But there's some really bad german in that article: "Wehrspartigewein" could mean "Wehrsportgewehr", which would be "military sports rifle".
But my favorite is this:

3 kg Rollbombe. In order put the bowling skills of many germans to good use...
Actually it was a sapper weapon, for use against Bunkers, and came in various sizes up to 10 kgs.

The "Einstossflammenwerfer" had a worthy successor in oscurity with the "Handflammpatrone" of the Bundeswehr, some kind of oversized one shot flare gun that fired a phosphorous charge up to 30 meters. I've never seen one and I don't know anyone who has ever seen one, but supposedly this one-shot one hand flamethrower was in service until 2001. Maybe sapper units had them...

When a WWII veteran saw a TOW launcher in the first Gulf War on CNN, he almost freaked out!

I like this one, you have all you need for a day at work:

I noticed they didn't have the German "Cornner Shot" I saw on the History Channel. Basicly it was a MP-44 with a curved barrel attachment. There was a 90 degree one for CQB and a 30 degree one for shooting though the hatch of a tank. It even had a little periscope for aiming.

Speaking of Periscopes I like that Pazerfaust with a scope! I really could have use a few of those in the Pegusus Bridge mission in Call of Duty! :lol:

Don't forget the Vampir thermal imaging scope, designed for use with the Stg44.

Didn't the US devlop a simaler system around the same time?

Or it might have been a Low Light system like the old Starlight Scopes used in Vietnam. :hmm:

Chocolate Bar Grenade?!

Now that's just cruel!

Now was in ment to be a boobytrap or something for a POW to use for an escape?

Sweet Jesus... it has the potential to become the greatest weapon of ALL TIME (and please make good note of the word potential).

Always liked the 7.92mm STG-44 with Krummlauf bent-barrel attachment:up:

Had see a few of them before, but a couple were new to me.
