This video features a shooting and disassembly of the Volksturmgewehr Gustloff, often misidentified as the VG1-5. Developed in late World War II for the German Volksturm, only a few thousand were produced. The rifle is semi-automatic, chambered in 7.92x33 Kurz (the same cartridge as the MP44/StG44), and uses the MP44/StG44 magazine. Its mechanism is described as a hybrid between direct blowback and delayed blowback, with a functional delaying feature. The video aims to debunk a common internet belief about this rare firearm.
