Not only was the Fedorov Avtomat rifle fed from a magazine, select fire, and used a intermediate cartridge, all hallmarks of the assault rifle. However, the 'assault rifle' pattern that the StG44 followed was original pioneered by the Tsar-era Russian Fedorov Avtomat rifle developed by Captain Vladmir Grigoryevich Fyodorov. Some of these interesting Mexican rifles saw action in World War One. This made it difficult, but notВ impossible, to use these types of weapons like an assault rifle.В ParallelВ to the development of the LMG, were the 'automatic rifle' that the bridge between the LMG/Battle-Rifle/Bolt-Action, and was first seen in 1887 with the Mexican Mondragon Rifle.

The closest thing to a portable fully-automatic rifle in service were the light machine guns, like the Bren, BAR, and Canadian Huot Automatic Rifle, which chambered larger full-sized rifle cartridges, and had heavy-duty frames to match the cartridge. Not only were tanks, planes, machine guns common on the new battlefield, but the standard bolt-action rifles were just starting to give way to semi-automatic battle-rifles, like the Soviet SVT-38/40, German Gewehr 41, and the American M1 Garand. The world that StG44 was born into was an age of great change in warfare. The Historical Context of the STG44's Emergence In this blogpost, while this assault rifle goes by many names, FWS will primarily refer to this weapon has generally the STG44, save for whenВ referringВ to the range of similar weapons. Now that is done, let us move on with the gun. The wholesale slaughter of people due to some religious or biological difference is not what a proper orВ descentВ society does, and Germany paid the price for that bloody ideology. While I respect the 3rd Reich's invention when it comes to modern warfare and some technologically achievements, namelyВ rocketry, the ideals of the Nazi Party show the worst elements of the human heart and how a society of good people can become twisted. Before we get into the meat of this historical weaponry blogpost, I just want to say that I think Hitler was a mass-murdering fuckhead who I hope is rotting in the coldest pit in hell. At this time, there was no Call of Duty nor Brothers in ArmsВ and the storm-rifle was nearly never seen in WWII movies. When I asked my Father about why this rifle looked like the AK47, he informed me that this Nazi gun had led to the AK. I first laid eyes on the StG44 at the 45th Infantry Museum in Oklahoma City when I was about ten or eleven in 1986 or 1987.
