Germany's L26 Silencer for the K98k, G43, and StG44
This video focuses on the German L26 silencer, also known as System Schätzle. It details the unique baffle design, which uses six cone-shaped metal baffles within a simple tube, differing from Russian wipe-based designs. The silencer attaches by clamping around the front sight, similar to a K98k rifle grenade launcher. The L26 was designed for various 8mm diameter Wehrmacht firearms, including a specific model for the MG42, with approximately 200 fielded. Rifle pattern production aimed for 1000 units but concluded early due to manufacturing issues. The description also notes a proactive deletion of a previous version to avoid a YouTube strike.
