This video analyzes Germany's development of semi-automatic infantry rifles during WWII, focusing on the Gewehr 43 (G43). It details the shortcomings of the earlier G41(M) and G41(W) designs, which were hampered by the Army's prohibition of barrel gas ports. The description highlights the influence of the Soviet SVT-40's gas system, which Walther adopted and refined to create the G43. The G43, later renamed the Karabiner 43 (K43), entered service in 1943 and saw significant production.

This video analyzes German L23 and L27 silencers developed during WWII. The L23 is identified as a direct copy of the Soviet Bramit silencer, designed for the K98k rifle with a front sight attachment. Subsequent development led to the L27, which utilized the rifle grenade spigot clamp for attachment and was intended for a broader range of German 8mm small arms including the K98k, G43/K43, and MP44/StG44. The L27, like the Bramit, was designed for subsonic ammunition, with a range table for subsonic rounds engraved on the suppressor body. Production of the L27 was cut short in late 1944 due to rubber shortages.
