Mauser and Walther

The Gewehr 43 is a semi-automatic rifle developed and used by Germany during World War II. It was chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser and used a short-stroke gas piston system. The rifle was designed to provide German infantry with greater firepower than the bolt-action Kar98k. It was equipped with a 10-round detachable box magazine loaded with standard stripper clips. The G43 was also produced in a sniper variant with a telescopic sight.
