Very rare Nazi German MP43 "Sturmgewehr" Assault Rifle
Pre 1995 deactivation Dry firing and Strippable
The MP43 was first seen on the eastern front for the first time in mid 1943 , highly effective against the Soviets. It was the first true modern day assault rifle with a high capacity magazine semi and fully automatic fire control system.
Easy to maintain on the battlefield and used first intermedia round , the 7.92 Kutz (short) cartridge.
The Mp43 was made from stamped parts making it relatively quick and cheap to make. The MP43 made all bolt action service rifle obsolete as there fire power was far greater than any bolt action rifle.
