The Sturmgewehr 44 - StG 44

A short summarized bit of history for those unfamiliar with the weapon:

The Sturmgewehr 44 (german for storm/assault rifle) was the world's first widely used assault rifle. Germans realized that combat more frequently happened in the range of up to 800m, so that the long range of the 8mm Mauser cartridge was unnecessary for general combat, and its high recoil made fully automatic fire unwieldy. An intermediate cartridge would allow for a role between bolt action rifles, like the Kar98K, and submachineguns, like the MP40. Thus began the development of the 7. 92x33/8mm Kurz (8mm short) and the Sturmgewehr (at the time Maschinenkarabiner). The weapon was well received by german troops, but had trouble in its development caused by administrative complications: Hitler did not agree with the need for a new rifle and an intermediate cartridge, though he allowed the project to continue as a new submachine gun - which it did, but only in name (Maschinenpistole 43/44). Later, seeing the acclaim for the "new rifle" and its performance, Hitler was impressed, and according to the legend he named it Sturmgewehr.

Does more damage than the vanilla combat rifle, is a little more stable for full auto fire, but has less range, since the 8mm Kurz is a little heavy, being a shortened full rifle cartridge, and has a slightly slower rate of fire. It's a good weapon for what an assault rifle is designed for: general performance for up to medium range, good stopping power and controllable full auto, while being able to fire accurately in semi auto (it's not a sniper rifle though, hence the lack of long range scope).

It's quite a rare weapon, it can be found in the Museum of Witchcraft near the corpse of Major Jefferies, and is used by Captain W
