* | *During the later stages of the war, some prototypes of the G43 were designed to chamber the 7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge. This modification was meant to reduce recoil when compared to the predecessor while providing larger ammunition capacity and improved short-to-medium range capabilities at the cost of stopping power and effective range. The prototype was found in Leningrad, alongside prototypes of the StG4 and MKB.42(h). These versions of the G43 were the only German battle rifles of the time capable of switching between semi and full-automatic fire. They were given the name Dauerfeuereinrichtung or Automatic-Fire Equipment(G43 DFE for short). <ref>[http://weaponsman.com/?p=29841 The Webpage of Rare Automatic Gewehr 43]</ref> | ||
*G43's uniform appears to be based on the infantryman's M36 uniform, which was produced and issued throughout the duration of WWII despite newer uniforms also eventually being issued later on during that time. | |||
