How to find best Infantry weapons

[KnightFandragon]

Yeah, I know its STG 44...why I am stuck on using MP idk....I like STG better anywho =P I know its an Assault Rifle, when I first saw it I was thinking it would use its own Assault Rifle rounds. Come to find out the game makes it use SMG ammo. Im like, ok, there is no shortage of that. Still its a great gun in game and in RL

The German and Russian MGs are guns, they both do their job at cutting down infantry and light vehicles in some cases. The gun you are most comfortable with is the best.

By the way, the STG 44 was not the first assualt rifle. It was one of many pre-assault rifles, not fully developed enough to be classified as a true assault rifle.

Wrong on both accounts. The DP LMG wasn't that great, and the STG 44 was the 1st Assault Rifle.

Doesnt the DP jam alot b/c of that big disk clip it has? Anywho, the PPSH is nice....THe RUssians did it well, combine a Squad LMG w/ a SMG...71 round drum mag in a tiny little portable package. Of course idk how common they were, what units used them or actually how reliable they were but in every game PPSH's absolutly wreck stuff.

PPSH was very common. Russian infantry we're no differently armed than German infantry.

K98s - Mosin Nagants

MP40s - PPSHs

MG34/42s - DPs

G43 - SVT-40

As for reliability...

Some of the PPSh's drawbacks included the difficulty of reloading, the tendency of the drums to jam (solved by the box magazines) and the high risk of accidental discharge when dropped - the last being a fault common to all open bolt submachine gun designs. Despite these drawbacks, the PPSh-41 was still admired by Soviet soldiers for its low recoil, reliability, and lethality at close range. The PPSh fired the standard 7.62x25mm pistol round such as used in the TT-33 pistol.

Serious problems with the drum mag, so the regular stick mags were preferable. So it was 35 rounds vs 71 but problems with jamming.

The DP LMG is great if a Russian is using it. I find it much more fun then a MG42.

And the first Assualt rifle prototype came in the end of the 19th century. I really just hate the STG 44.
