![]() ![]() Weren’t much different than the Primitiv-Waffen-Programm of which the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr using the Barnitzke system was part of, in that they needed to be cheap in essence. Speaking of the Gerat 06h which was presumably part of the Spz series, a family of German assault rifles that was in the planning stage in the final stages of the war. Or indeed, potential prototypes prior to their defeat in 1945. French people running amok guillotining things “Germans” being delivered covert supplies to continue there anti Soviet campaign with their badly depleted forces. More and more Volkssturmg… Etc, weapons as the U.S pulls out after defeating Japan in order to concentrate on selling them fridges, revolution in Britain overthrow of the monarchy. You could probably get away with a series of “what if weapons” 1946 model used in the victorious “German” Soviet campaign of 1946 to 52. Doubtless you could sell reproductions to a guaranteed niche market, particularly in regards WWII “German” weapons. Or make one, utilizing an old Jcb digger or something…Īs after watching those Gerat video’s, they look cheap to make, so tubes, stamped sheet metal, the Fg42 models were originally made in “war” so weren’t works of art etc. One of those sauce pan making machines off Schindler’s list looks like it would come in handy for them, should have a “Church roof” collection to purchase an old old one from Moldova or somewhere for them in order to knock unt more of ze cheaper German replica guns mit der niche market in mind. However this proposition isn’t relevant to me, as I’m British minus $5,000. I’d like one, it’s a nice reproduction of a distinctive gun which looks well made so I would like to support their endeavour. A partially reciprocating cocking rod, runs over the actuating rod allowing you to cock the actual operating rod.Īfter looking at the Smg guns website, if I was an American and had $5000 to spend on a gun. This then functions normally, as the sprung loaded actuating rod/piston returns independently. ![]() Upon firing gas hits the piston, pushing the attached actuating rod into the conventional operating rod. This rod/piston is sprung loaded via compressing against a sleeve running over the barrel. The gun is supposed to be the same as the fg42 however in this configuration, gas from the muzzle hits a gas piston inside the recoil booster the piston however is turned into an actuating rod running under the barrel. And the bayonet when in the stowed position, I envisage as a actuating rod for the actual operating rod. Mainly the bipod, which I switch to being a frame holding what is essentially a recoil booster. The basis for this conception of the Fg42 is that perhaps once it was designed even merely as a drawing using a gas system similar to the Mg42, within this assumption which I make on the premise it kind of resembles one essentially I take two aspects of the Fg42 as we know it and present them in a different manner. The link appears to have worked, so I will continue with a brief explanation of my drawing. ![]() I’m definitely jealous – I can’t wait to find an opportunity to shoot one of these myself! I noticed the really high rate of fire, and I’m really impressed by how controllable he made the gun appear. That may be because the second model has a more vertical grip (which affords more leverage to hold the gun square) and it weighs more overall, which means the offset loaded magazine is a smaller proportion of the overall weight. He also complains about the balance being weighted off to the left by a loaded magazine, which is not an issue I found to be noticeable on the second model. That allows left-handed use of the gun without any problem – and SMG’s reproductions actually have a better ejection path than the originals and don’t even need the deflector. He describes the gun as being definitely not lefty-friendly – that is the case with the one he was shooting, and one of the elements added to the second model by the Germans was a case deflector. Well, Larry Vickers just got the chance to do this, and has a great video of it:Ī couple things I want to mention about what he says… And I’ve gotten a lot of requests for that. I’ve gotten to take apart an original second model FG-42, and play with an SMG reproduction second model (and shoot against one in a 2-gun match), but I’ve never gotten my hands on an original first model.
