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.
