This video offers a slow-motion look at the Gewehr 43 (G43) rifle. The description details its intended role as the Wehrmacht's standard infantry rifle, its production limitations, and its eventual replacement by the Sturmgewehr concept. Mechanically, the G43 is noted for its flap-locking system derived from the Gewehr 41 and a gas pistol system influenced by the Soviet SVT-38/40. A key point is the common issue of over-gassing, which is addressed by an "shooter's kit" modification from Apfeltor to ensure reliability without damaging parts during extended use, especially in adverse conditions.
