	StG44 - the Call of Duty Wiki - tips and info for the entire Call of Duty series - a Wikia Gaming wiki
		The StG44, or the Sturmgewehr 44 (also known as the MP44 and the Maschinenpistole 44) was a German assault rifle which was in use during World War II.
		The StG44 was used by the Nazis from 1944 to 1945 and was an extremely effective weapon, though limited by the total number manufactured and by the number actually issued to field troops.
		Because few soldiers are able to withstand the recoil of several full-powered rifle rounds like those in the Kar98k being fired from the weapon several times a minute, the cartridge utilized in the rifle has a casing smaller than that used in standard ammunition.

		I disagree that the stg44 was the first true, widely used assault rifle.

	Sturmgewehr 44
		The German weapons were the best that its accomplished scientific and military minds could devise and which the country’s economy could produce.
		By the end of the war, over 400,000 StG44 variants of all types were produced.
		A StG44 equipped solider had a greatly improved tactical repertoire, in that he could effectively engage targets at long range across open terrain, or in close range urban fighting, as well as provide cover fire in all situations as a machine gun role.

	Sturmgewehr 44 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seeing the possibility of a propaganda 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.
		A primary use of the MP44/StG44 was to counter the Soviet PPS and PPSh submachine guns, which used a 7.62 x 25 mm round (not entirely interchangeable with the 7.62 Mauser round, introduced with the 1896 Mauser "Broomhandle" pistol).
		As for the Sturmgewehr itself, it remained in use with the East German Nationale Volksarmee until it was eventually replaced with variants of the AK-47 assault rifle.

		The Maschinenpistole 43, Maschinenpistole 44, Sturmgewehr 44 (MP43, MP44, Stg44) were names for a light automatic rifle developed for Nazi Germany during World War II as part of the Maschinenkarabiner (machine carbine) program and developed from the Mkb 42(H).
		The Stg44 filled the need for a light automatic rifle, like the Bren, while at the same time offering much of the convenience of a SMG or light automatic rifle such as the US M1 Carbine.
		A properly trained soldier with an StG44 had a greatly improved tactical repertoire, in that he could effectively engage targets at longer then previously with an MP40, but be much useful then K98k in close range urban fighting, as well as provide light cover fire like an LMG.

	AK-47 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To reduce manufacturing costs, this was done by shortening the 7.92 x 57 mm Mauser cartridge to 33 mm and using a lighter bullet.
		The resulting Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) was not the first rifle to use these features; it was preceded by earlier Italian and Russian designs, such as the Cei-Rigotti and the Fedorov Avtomat.
		The Germans were, however, the first to produce and field enough of the weapon to properly evaluate its utility, using it against the Russians towards the end of the war.

		MP stands for "Maschine-pistol", and STG for "Sturmgewehr" ("Storm rifle", as Nazi officials thought that the sound made whilst firing was like that of a violent thunderstorm).
		That was also the main purpose of the Stg44 on the eastern front, elite squads were equipped with it and caused heavy losses at the Russian side while performing suprise counterattacks.
		Ok, that´s a generalisation now, and it did not change the outcome of the war anyway, but that´s why the Stg44 was called a "Sturmgewehr".

		It is my belief that while at the time of its introduction the StG44 occupied a singular place in the infantry battery its revolutionary design left such an impact that our very use of the term "rifle" has adapted to incorporate it.
		Surely at the time the StG44 is more readily compared to the M1 Carbine than the Garand, Johnson, Mauser SLR, FG42 or Tokarev, however, its introduction led directly to the obsolesence of the aforementioned rifles chambered in full size cartridges.
		The subsequent designs born of and inspired by the StG44 so thoroughly eclipsed the previous standard for the infantry long arm that the very concept of a battle rifle was redifined.

	StG44
		The Stg44 was not a light machine gun, but it did fill the need for a light automatic rifle that offered mobile suppresive fire, like the Bren, while at the same time offering much of the convenience of a SMG or light automatic rifle such as the US M1 Carbine.
		One unusal addition to the design was the Krummer Lauf, a bent barrel with a periscope sighting device for shooting around corners from a position of safety.
		The USSR noted the advance and incorporated these differences in the improved AK-74, which was lighter and used a 5.45 x 39 mm round similar to NATO's version.

		After the war the StG44 served as the model and inspiration for all assault gun designs including the Russian AK47.
		Most gun parts were constructed from steel stampings, but the weapon was very serviceable with reliable operation and accuracy.
		When production volumes improved around December 1944, the StG44 saw widespread distribution in all types of units in the German military including the newly formed Volksgrenadier divisions.

	THR - Anyone try a STG44?
		Another major post-war user of Stg.44 was Yugoslavia; their paratroopers used it under the designation "Automat, padobranski, 7.9 mm M44, nemacki" until the early 1980s, when the Kalashnikov-type M64 and M70 rifles finally replaced it.
		An amusing side note is that several Stg.44, captured by the Soviet Army and converted to fire blank cartridges, were used until the late 1980s by several major Soviet movie studios to imitate various âweapons of imperialismâ, including the American M16.
		February 10th, 2004 12:55 PM The StG44 looks surprisingly like just what it is. From this weapon, the concept of the "Assault Rifle" was born.

	Another military coverup??? - single post for printer
		After the war the StG44 resulted in the outright replacement of almost every infantry gun in the western world, serving as the direct inspiration for the Russian AK47, the most prolific gun in the world, and the indirect inspiration for practically everything else.
		A properly trained soldier with an StG44 had a greatly improved tactical repertoire, in that he could effectively engage targets at long range across open terrain, or in close range urban fighting, as well as provide cover fire in all situations as a machine gun role.
		The wisdom of the assault rifle concept has been born out in that, with the exception of a few specialized positions such as the sniper, virtually every soldier in every army today carries a descendent of the SG44.

		When it was introduced in late in WWII as the StG44, it quickly created an intense demand that was not met before the war ended.
		The army had planned to replace their.303 rimmed cartridge before WWI but were forced to keep it due to time and money constraints for another 30 years.
		His design combined the EM-2's carrying handle with the hinged design of the FN, added a mechanism from a Swedish rifle, the ejector port cover from the StG44, and used an inline stock for better control in automatic (as opposed to most designs where the stock is bent down from the barrel).

	RE: Who had the best weapons of WWII?
		gain, 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.
		The StG44 was an intermediate weapon for the period; the muzzle velocity from its 42 cm barrel was 647 m/s, compared to 880 m/s (K98k), 744 m/s (Bren), 600 m/s (M2 Carbine), and 365 m/s (MP40).
		It was produced in several variants, an "I"-version for infantry use, a "P" version for use in tanks (to cover the dead areas in the close range around the tank, to defend against assaulting infantry), versions with 30°, 45°, 60° and 90° bends, a version for the StG44 and one for the MG 42.

	Stuttering sound for STG44? - FileFront Gaming Forums
		Whenever I use the STG44, and fire off a long burst of shots, you only hear a gunshot for the first shot.
		If you are firing an STG44 at someone and they are firing a PPSH at you, they are only using one sound channel (ppsh is a loop) and you are using about 5 channels per second, because each individual shot of the STG is a seperate instance of the sound.
		STG44 is the only gun I have a problem with.

		The StG44 may look like an AK47, but they are two totally different weapons.
		Aside from the fact that Kalishnakov was working on a prototype before '44 (i think it was either 42 or 43, I have to check), the Germans didnt issue any StG43 in any large quantities.
		First off, the StG44 was unreliable and required a lot of maintenance and cleaning.

	StG44 in Yugoslavia and Somalia? - Military Photos
		The StG44 and ammo was still being produced in limited numbers by East Germany after the war, being used by their citizens forces even up until the mid-1970s.
		There was also apparently an StG44 confiscated by one of the Australian units serving on UN duty in Somalia that had a manufacture date of 1946.
		Given that the three factories that were producing the weapon all fell into the territory of East Germany and that it was then the most advanced infantry rifle of the time, it's not surprising to find that the East Germans continued to use it.

		The German StG44 was in fact the very first assault rifle ever made, and aided in the design of the modern assault rifles we see today.
		While Hitler turned away the StG44 at first, it proved to be a very effective weapon on the Eastern front against the Soviets and was immediately put into service.
		It may not be a match for the American BAR in terms of range, but its high rate of fire makes the StG44 an exceptional weapon.

		The germans did have a lmg/automatic rifle, the stg44 was not thier equivelent weapon.
		The STG44 or MP44 or MP43 which it has been named over and over again was to replace all K98's and MP40s.
		the Stg44 was such a class weapon that it is no coincidence that it looks like an ak-47 - as with the Me262 (which was used as the basis for starting the programmes that would lead to the mig-15, and mig-17) the russians reverse engineered german technology to come up with their own version.

		After end of the war the direct development of the Stg.44 was stopped, but some remained guns were used by East Germany.
		The StG.44 is a gas operated, selective fire weapon.
		By the modern standards, the StG.44 was too heavy, it was not too comfortable to fire from prone positions, the butt attachment was not too strong and could be easily damaged in hands-to-hands combat, but it was the FIRST gun of its class, and it was more effective than SMG.
