This video showcases rare, end-of-World War II German prototype rifles, specifically the VG1-5, VG1, and VG5, manufactured by Walther and Steyr. These innovative designs never entered full production, likely intended for the Volksturm. The VG1-5 is a semi-automatic rifle resembling automatic variants, while the VG1 and VG5 are described as crude bolt-action rifles. The description also links to related videos about the Walther factory and the use of slave labor.
This video examines the Volksturm VG-5, also known as the VK-98, a simplified and cost-effective variant of the Mauser 98 rifle developed by Steyr for the Nazi government in early 1945. The rifle is mechanically identical to the K98k but features less aesthetic refinement and simplified parts. The video highlights that despite common belief, these rifles exhibit class characteristics due to a limited number of production variations, with 10,000 units produced.
