G33/40: Special Carbine for the Gebirgsjager
This video delves into the history and specifications of the G33/40, a special carbine developed by the Germans for their Gebirgsjäger (mountain troops) during World War II. The G33/40 was a shortened variant of the Czech vz33 Mauser carbine, chosen for its maneuverability in mountainous terrain. The description highlights its 19.4-inch barrel, protective stock plate, production timeline from 1940 to 1942, and the approximate number of units produced. It also mentions the transition to standard K98ks production after the G33/40's run and notes the receiver codes used.
