There were weapons that, for various reasons, were produced on a far smaller scale in WWII.
Sometimes in such small numbers that they were considered a rarity, unknown to the general public.

The type 100 smg was barely even produced, yet somehow, in COD: WAW, almost every other Japanese soldier has it

The real rarest weapon was found by hopping into different puddles, so a statue can rise out of the ground and give you an alien weapon
-
Rarest guns of WW2: . Me who has played COD WAW: "These were rare...?"

Finally Simple History is animating these babies They do need more recognition.

COD: WWII and Battlefield 5 seeing this: "I think you mean, the most commonly used gun by literally every soldier irregardless of country"

WW1: automatic guns are precious Battlefield 1: bolt action rifles? Never heard of it, take this automatic gun

I love the first-person animations, you guys, they remind me of an old flash game on Kongregate. I love it!
-
The Schwerer Gustav was rare but it wasn't hard to find.
-
Does anyone notice that simple history’s animation has improved in the last year?????? Or is it just me

I have a repro FG42, and it shoots extremely well. Recoil from the 8mm round is minimal: the muzzle brake is very effective; and the straight receiver/stock design helps. Years ago, when stationed in Germany I talked to FJ veterans and asked about this weapon. They said, pretty much what the video says: great weapon, not enough of them. Though they primarily used it as a semi-auto rifle as in full-auto it was difficult to control.
