This video provides a detailed look at two Gustloff VG1-5 rifles, often misidentified as the VG1-5. The presenter explains the unusual gas-delayed blowback operating system, noting its use of gas vented through the barrel to keep the action closed. Chambered in 8x33 Kurz, these rifles were a late-WWII German semi-automatic Volkssturm weapon. The video highlights the presence of an original sling on one example and mentions that 10,000 were manufactured, though they had little impact on the war's outcome. The mechanism is compared to the later Steyr GB pistol.
