This video dives into the history and design of the German Gewehr 41 (Walther) rifle from WWII. It highlights the innovative spirit of German engineers but also details the significant design flaws imposed by military requirements, particularly the prohibition of a gas port in the barrel. The video contrasts the Walther G41 with the later, more successful G43, explaining how the latter addressed the critical issues. Despite its flaws, the G41's development is presented as a testament to engineering creativity under restrictive conditions, stemming from a pre-war distrust of self-loading rifles.
