    For MOHAA players out there...

    The MP 43/1 which was redesignated MP 44 in April 1944. There is no apparent reason for this change in nomenclature. The nomenclature was changed again later in 1944 from MP (meaning Maschinen Pistole) to StG (meaning Sturm Gewehr) or assault rifle. This change was politically inspired, but is truly more descriptive of the role of the weapon. There were two experimental versions of StG 44, the StG 44 (P) and StG 44 (V), these had curved barrels of 90° and 45° respectively. Both were rejected by Waffen Amt. The design of this was the result of Hugo Schmeisser's work on the original design by the Haenel plant, which was the Mk b 42(H). Another design was produced by Walther about the same time, the Mk b 42(W), but this was dropped entirely.

    Isn't that a really old game?
