STG 44

The Sturmgewehr 44 is a German select fire intermediate power rifle, or assault rifle, that saw service during WWII. It is widely regarded as the first practical assault rifle ever created, having the qualities of select fire, intermediate cartridge, and +300m range. They were manufactured in large numbers for the German army during WWII, although not many survive today because most were destroyed after Germany surrendered.

The STG 44 in game is a very rare spawn that usually comes with 1-2 30 round magazines. The iron sights are average, but they make engaging enemies at range difficult. No scopes are available for this weapon. The recoil pattern of the STG 44 is quite erratic and hard to control at medium and especially long ranges, so using it at close ranges are most ideal. Overall, use of the STG 44 should be similar to use of a submachine gun where it has about the same effectiveness.
