    What a difficult choice
    MP 43/ StG 44 totally produced around 0,5 million.

    MP 40 totally produced around 1 million.

    According to this logic there should be 1:2 photos. Still I have never seen any pictures of that weapon during soviet times. At the same time my personal experience in Baltic states region is that diggers (battle field archeologists) find more MP 43 or StG 44 compared to MP 40. Can you refer to ANY soviet movie showing MP43?

    May I see reference?

    Both are using transitional ammo. Do I need to explain what that means or you will google it yourself?

    ST. PETERSBURG, November 12 (RIA Novosti) - A Russian Delta-IV class Karelia nuclear submarine has started sea trials following lengthy modernization at the Zvezdochka shipyard in northern Russia, the company said.
    The overhaul, which started in 2004, included the noise reduction, improved enemy ship and submarine tracking capabilities, and enhanced survivability. The submarine has been equipped with 16 Sineva RSM-54 missiles.
    K-18 Karelia could join Russia's Northern Fleet by the end of this year, the shipyard said in a statement on Wednesday.
    Similar overhaul has been done to four other Delta-IV class submarines - the K-51 Verkhoturye, the K-84 Yekaterinburg, the K-114 Tula, and the K-117 Bryansk.
    The Russian Navy has seven Delta-IV class submarines in service. They are all deployed in the Northern Fleet.
    "The Delta-IV class submarines are the core of the naval component of the Russian nuclear triad at present. After the modernization, the subs will be able to remain in service for another 10 years," Zvezdochka said.

    Do I need to explain to you the difference between a 9mm magnum cartridge and a low grain 7.62? We don't need any more evidence of your total lack of knowledge when it comes to weapons. Any idiot who has watched the History channel for a total of 2 hours knows Kalashnikov had AK weapon designs dating before the war, and improvements upon it prior to the unveiling of the MP43. The magic here is, I do not have to cite anything. You are the nut trying to prove some theory that the Soviets stole the MP43 and hid all the pictures of it. How about you show some proof that relates any part of the MP43 and the AK-47? If you think using the word "transitional ammo" is going to get you by it is not. Both the 9mm magnum and low gran 7.62 are transitional, but any idiot knew that an assault rifle needed an in-between round in regards to a pistol round and rifle round. Oh, but wait you say. It uses a 7.92x33mm. Nope, the MP43 refers the first prototype for that weapon. It used a 9mm magnum. The MP44 is the 7.92 prototype, they are different weapons contrary to your wiki sources that you must be reading. Transitional ammo was created LONG before either the MP43 or the AK-47, in fact the M1 Garand can be considered to use transitional ammo as a 7.62 x 51 is lower grain than traditional x 54 cartridges. Find internal pictures of both weapons and find any similarity beyond the fact that the gas tube is above the barrel. So, please make my day and attempt to make some sensible point so me and the other people here can tear your arguments to pieces.

    MP 43 uses 7,92x33 (on the left in the picture).

    AK 47 uses 7,62x39 (on the right in the picture).

    MP 43 is not using 9 mm Magnum!!! Do I need to show MP 43 magazine for you???

    If you are interested in Lithuanian military inventions you should start reading about Kazimieras Semenavičius and his book „Artis Magnae Artilleriae“. It was written in 1650 and already was describing rocket usage in military purposes (250 years before Ciolkovksi). Or you can read about Lithuanian military airplane industry (ANBO planes) that was destroyed due to your country.



    It is not HMVEE but HMMWV High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle.
    You're off the mark...while your buddies were writing books on rockets, the Chinese were burning freaking castles with them...Then come the Ottomans, blasting Balkanic walls with black powder bombs and mortars. Then the Venitians and Florentines then...please cut the crap dude.

    Do I need to explain the difference between good and bad sources. MP43 was first chambered for a 9mm magnum round. The 7.92 was introduced because a high velocity 9mm did not have a significant increase in capability of a sub machine gun firing a normal 9mm round. Thus the MP44 (originally shown to Hitler under the incorrect name MP43) switched ideas and went for a slower speed rifle round. Take a surf on google, people own 9mm magnum MP43's. I love how you threaten to cite a magazine source as well. Ya, magazines are so great for getting information. Perhaps the New York Times is the basis for your political thoughts as well? Nice Red Herring trying to go off the subject that the AK-47 and MP44/43 are not the same weapons and were developed simultaneously. I know what rounds were used in which prototypes, I don't need to hear that ridiculous argument. However, you have yet to prove that Kalashnikov had no plans prior to the unveiling of the MP44/43 (I will just go ahead and start calling it the MP44 as that is what you truly refer to). You also have not proven that there are no pictures of an MP44 in the USSR in the 40's, or for that fact any lack of them beyond your own personal experience. Funny how my grandfather knew what one was despite this magical cover up.

    I'd be very interested to see a link to information on "9mm magnum" MP-43's. Every book source I personally own as well as a Google search just completed indicates they were always chambered in 7.92x33mm.

    BTW manberries, AurimasLT was referring to weapon magazines, as in ammunition containers. You jumped the gun in assuming it was written periodicals.

    Man, I'd love to have an English translation of this video. I got a real kick out of the guy trying to fire the mud covered M-16. His disgusted slapping of the forward assist is classic.
