volkssturmgewehr
The Volkssturmgewehr ("People's Storm - Rifle") is a collective term for several low-cost rifle designs developed by Nazi Germany during the last months of World War II. They share the common characteristic of being greatly simplified as an attempt to cope with severe lack of resources and industrial capacities in Germany during the final period of the war.
This tag covers all variants like the bolt action Walther VG 1, Spreewerk Berlin VG 2, the Mauser 98-like Walther VG 5, and the semi-automatic Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr.
