  Gewehr 43 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gewehr 43, Karabiner 43 (G43, K43; Gew 43, Kar 43) was a semi-automatic rifle of Nazi Germany developed during World War II, developed from the G41(W) but using the gas system of the Tokarev SVT40.
By 1940, it became apparent that some form of a semi-automatic rifle with a higher rate of fire than the existing bolt-action rifle's was needed to improve the infantry's combat efficiency.
The Gewehr 43 performed well in the sniper role and stayed in service for the Czech army for several years after the war.

 Modern Firearms - Gewehr 43 / Gew.43 / Kar.43 semi-automatic rifle
Gewehr 41(W) / G41(W) - the direct predecessor for the G43 / K43.
Both rifles were somewhat similar in that they were gas-operated self-loaders, both utilizing the Bang-type annual gas pistons, located at the muzzle of the gun, within the relatively large muzzle cap.
The Bang-type muzzle gas system was among the key sources of the problems, so, by the late 1943 Walther engineers mated the G41(W) action with the much more effective and reliable gas system of the Russian Tokarev SVT-40 rifle.

Regardless if you trigger the Dutch sympathizer who is scripted to be killed or not, those snipers down there (I've counted three) are all the people who are up in that perch until you head up into it (which in turn spawns two more goons).
If you head up there and snag the Gewehr ammo, two goon squads will rush the perch fro the ground and both sides via the rooves.
Deal with these four jerks, rain grenades down the far side of the street (on a good day, the Brits only advance as far as the small alley in the house you're supposed to be in).

 Karabiner or Gewehr - FileFront Gaming Forums
Seeing the possibility of a win, the rifle was again renamed as the StG44, to highlight the new class of weapon it represented, literally "assault rifle, model 1944", thereby introducing the term.
As you can see the difference between the Gewehr 43 and the Karabiner 43 is a few small components.
