FG-42: Perhaps the Most Impressive WW2 Shoulder Rifle
https://utreon.com/c/forgottenweapons/ / forgottenweapons http://www.floatplane.com/channel/For... Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! http://shop.forgottenweapons.com The first production version of the FG42 used a fantastically complex milled receiver and a distinctive sharply swept-back pistol grip. A contract to make 5,000 of them was awarded to Krieghoff in late spring of 1943, but by the fall its replacement was already well into development. The milled receiver used a lot of high-nickel steel which was becoming difficult for Germany to acquire, and it was decided to develop a stamped receiver to ease production obstacles. Ultimately only about 2,000 of the early Type E FG42 rifles were actually made, and only 12 or 15 are registered in the US. They are a remarkably advanced rifle, and extremely interesting.
