This video delves into the historical accuracy of optics being fitted to the Sturmgewehr family of rifles (MP43, MP44, StG44). It debunks the common portrayal of these rifles with optical sights, explaining that while early prototypes of the MKb-42(H) and later MP43/1 models were tested with optics like the ZF-4 and ZF-41, these efforts were largely unsuccessful. The primary reasons cited are the poor performance of the mounts on the stamped receivers, particularly during burst fire, leading to significant accuracy issues and scopes failing to hold zero. The video concludes that the Sturmgewehr was not designed or intended as a marksman's rifle with optics, with any later-war fittings likely being for specialized systems like night vision.
