| Secretly developed during WWII without Hitler's knowledge, the NAZI's created a new breed of machine gun that fired a shortened, less powerful Spitzer round that was very accurate fired in short bursts and highly controllable under sustained automatic firing. Duly impressed when he was finally shown the gun, Hitler called it the Sturmgewehr or Storm and the first assault rifle was born. Brutally deadly at both close and medium range, the StG 44 gave the German foot soldier a distinct firepower advantage. Now you can add the world's first assault rifle to your collection. Precision cast in full metal and hardwood with sliding bolt, removable 30 round magazine, pivoting sight and working trigger. Add the dummy 7.92x33mm Kurz (German for short) shells (item #12585NX) for a dramatic display! |
