Grandpa Hated This! Find Out Why! STG-44

Published 2022-10-17
The Sturmgewehr-44 is the grandfather of all modern assault rifles and is Iconic in its own right. The STG-44's pop culture service history in video games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Hell Let Loose have left a permeant memory in my brain. The STG-44 was also featured in Star Wars as the A280 Blaster. In recent years it had a great appearance in the Movie Fury, where Brad Pitts character "War Daddy" gets to sport it. Its an Iconic piece of Military/Small arms history and a great treat to be able to feature it on my channel.

Thanks to Apex Gun Parts for Letting me Show off this rifle.

  • If you place an order ask for hugs and kisses. It's for both of us.
  • @pixythegunner
    From what I remember, it has two settings: 1 - Western Front, or Semi Auto 2 - Eastern Front, or Full Auto
  • If you've ever lost a lawsuit saying shotguns are inhumane, then immediately issued them to your trench raiders, go ahead and hit the subscribe button
  • my grandpa loved the STG-44. Saved his life on the eastern front.
  • I'm Argentinian, and my grandpa loved this gun for 3 reasons: *Reliable. *Great at distances. *And becouse it could fit the submarine heading towards Buenos Aires.

    My great grandfather used to tell me all the time about how the Japanese ambushed his unit using STG-44s back in 1943. Call of Duty Vanguard really woke me up to such unbelievable historical facts such as time travel.
  • @SovyetPotato
    Man the resolution on these German cameras in 1945 is insane! It’s almost like they were filmed today! Wowza, how stunning!
  • My grandfather got to 10th prestige with this bad boy. He said it was the best rifle he ever unlocked during the war.
  • "The Germans call her the Sturmgewehr. I call her My Love Affair." Love that line...
  • @craig2188
    I always thought my grandfather was an electrician in WW2...he had two lightning bolts on his helmet! ⚡⚡
  • @kamata93
    Lets be honest - German camo was the best during WW2. Even today its one of the best.
  • @bhoward9378
    The speeding up of the rate of fire as rounds diminish is indicative of a magazine spring issue. Of course, if you're using original mags and mag springs, you're getting pretty good results from an 80 year old item that was designed as a consumable part!
  • My grandpa was in the camps, he was in one from the beginning, working hard everyday just trying to do his job and survive. Unfortunately he died in the camp near the end of the war. It was a particularly windy day and the guard tower didn’t have adequate security rails. He fell to his death. Rest in Peace Grandpa Johann.

    I love how you guys mixed Inglorious Bastards, Fury, and Saving Private Ryan into one story line. That saved me so much time.
  • My father has an original, pristine MP-43. We brought it to the range for the first time about two weeks ago. It handles marvelously. You shoulder the gun and aready have the sights in line. It's light, nicely balanced, has a great trigger and shoots just great (although it has a rather weird recoil impulse from the long buffer spring). I was thinking what a giant leap it must have been for a german soldier to switch from a Mauser to the Stg.
  • @Gunstorian
    Apparently the magazines feed more reliably if you only load them to 25rds instead of the full 30. Another little tidbit, never let the stock get wet, the wood will swell and could prevent the action from properly cycling. Great video and I enjoy your channel, earned a sub from this guy!
  • @Doc41295
    The STG44 has a strange aesthetic mix of looking like it came from space and history at the same time. I love it. Somebody should make reproductions in a modern caliber. EDIT: Yes guys ok I know PSA is making reproductions now and that's very cool.
  • @popinmo
    this was my service weapon back in 2008 in call of duty i was issued this rifle
  • The red dot sights and handheld enemy radar (so you can find them) for these STG-44a was super rare too.
