Prototype Gustloff 206 Rifle
This video delves into the "Prototype Gustloff 206 Rifle," a rare German semi-automatic firearm developed during World War II. The description highlights the chaotic nature of German arms development during the era, with competing policies and independent procurement systems. The Gustloff 206, noted for its sheet metal construction, gas piston system, and vertically traveling locking block, emerged as one of the Gustloff concern's better designs following trials for the Gewehr 41. The video also touches upon its potential relation to the FG-42 project and its feeding mechanism, using cut-down MG-13 magazines.
