MP43 was a German submachine gun developed during World War II. It was designed by Hugo Schmeisser and first introduced in 1943. The MP43 was later renamed the Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) to emphasize its role as a new type of weapon, the first assault rifle in military history.
The MP43/StG44 was chambered for the 7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge and featured selective fire capability, allowing for both semi-automatic and fully automatic firing modes. It had a high rate of fire and was known for its accuracy and reliability in combat.
The StG44 proved to be a highly effective weapon on the battlefield, with German soldiers often preferring it over the standard-issue Karabiner 98k rifle. Its introduction marked a significant shift in military tactics, as the assault rifle provided soldiers with a more versatile and effective weapon for close-quarters combat.
The StG44's design and features influenced the development of future assault rifles and had a lasting impact on military small arms technology. It remains a popular and iconic weapon among collectors and enthusiasts.
