This video delves into the history and mechanics of the Walther MKb-42(W), a seldom-seen precursor to the Sturmgewehr. The description highlights its design differences from the Haenel competitor, specifically its closed-bolt operation and annular gas piston, which offered increased accuracy and dirt resistance but at a higher complexity and cost. Only 200 units were produced before its cancellation in late 1942. The video features a rare opportunity to disassemble and showcase one of these surviving examples, thanks to an invitation from the Association of Maltese Arms Collectors and Shooters.
