Thought you guys might like to see this, I'm sure some of you already have. Hitler sure was a dumb ass! If some one could make it hot I would appreciate it.

I didn't see the world's first assault rifle, I saw an STG. 
Here is the real first: http://world.guns.ru/assault/as86-e.htm Select fire, 25 round detachable mag, and in 6.5x50mm. Done by the Russians before WWI started. |

Intermediate power ammo didn't exist yet, though he was working on it. He used what was at hand, 6.5mm Arisaka being the best compromise they had at the time while he worked on an intermediate round.
The StG44 was the first that saw issue in large numbers (unit wide) but there were several thousand Federovs in service through the 1915-1930s and they saw combat. |
