Sorry, finding my feet with a first post but is this genuine or a 'mp44 beat the AK47 to everything' try?

Folding butt, extended barrel with bipod models, underslung grenade launcher? Very post Vietnam?

Sory, im trying to extend my ignorance?

Granatpistole; not far off from the current AG36.

Who is going to tell me this didn't influence the development of the PKM ^?

sorry, im expanding my ignorance by a percentage? the g42 flare pistol i know had a grenade round supplied but it basically looked like an egg on a stick stuffed down the barrel?

Why would they strap outdated and underpowered 1940 technology to a 1944 rifle when panzerfausts were not only cheap and plentiful but practically compulsory?

Same principle as applied for the single shot M203,GP25/30,HK79 & AG36
Small and in practical reach mounted on your primary weapon instead of getting out an RPG, LAW, Milan or AT4.

It's brilliant.

First version of an underslung grenade launcher I've seen.

Is this authentic? IMO looks like photoshop by some H&K enthusiast.
