The STG-44 was where Stoner and Sullivan first saw constant recoil. “Constant recoil” a system in which the bolt never impacts the rear of the receiver and the recoil impulse is felt as a continuous push instead of series of impacts...
the only problem is that it's too complex and too many little parts to manufacture, if you look at how Mr Kalashnikov simpified it's concept, he created the perfect assault rifle, but all credit to the Germans ofcourse for inventing and setting the first steps
". The StG 44 largely influenced the Soviet AK-47" its a myth. you can literally go now and check ak47 mechanism and realize how different is. Ak7 is more complex and only resamble the the stg for its shape and cartridges tho kalashnikov admitted he took insipariation from AS-44 which is probably more close to the Garand
He took the lay out and gas piston/ carrier lay out from the STG, this is rather obvious..He took the rotating bolt and fire control group from the M-1 Garand..Stoner took features from the STG too..
The soviet's literally admitted to using ideas from the stg 44...smeiser created the stg 44 and was captured by the soviet's and forced to work on creating a new rifle...aka ak 47
Only criticism I have is that this animation doesn't show the bolt stripping a round from the magazine, sliding it up the feed ramp, and into the chamber then relocking the lugs on the bolt. In this animation, the rounds just magically move from the magazine to the chamber at the end of the bolts feeding cycle. Other than that, pretty cool animation.
I’m not gunsmith, but It looks like there’s not a gas vent in the barrel that would chamber a new round. It’s just brute force from the gases in the receiver alone chambering the round, which means that the AK is not a “copy,” like so many people like to say.
There are much more similarities among AK47 am M16 than among StG44 and AK47. So we can conclude that AK47 has huge influence on M16 and may be even prototype.
@@WestlehSeyweld Just for curiosity have a look at M1 Grand system and honestly your statement plainly ridiculous. Common among those two rifles is just that - there are rifles albeit VERY different ones . Been inspired (about Kalashnikov) and being prototype (about M1 Grand) is like chalk and cheese. In reality as almost everything in modern weaponry gas-operated reloading starts from JMB from his BAR.
@@ТутБылЯ-ч3ь your right I shouldn’t have said copy, but the idea of using a long stroke piston was inspired by garand’s gas system. As well as it uses the locking lug design of the M1 Garand and a trigger and safety group designed by John M. Browning. With that being said Mr. Kalashnikov was still a genius and still designed one of the greatest rifles of all time, I have nothing but respect for him.
@@WestlehSeyweld There is other thing that bother me. It is believed that success of StG44 and consecutively AK47 was due to "middle" cartridge and it is often said that introduction such cartridge was main achievement of designers of StG44 that was adopted (you may say copied) by Kalashnikov. M1 Grand used true rifle cartridge 30-06 and therefore cannot be directly compared with either StG44 or AK47. However in USA was another very interesting cartridge and rifle - I am talking about M1 30 Carbine that used very similar concept to StG44 and AK47 though it had been introduced well before. However for some freaking reason I never read about it when discussed either StG44 or AK47.
Whatever the reason, the STG 44 was the greatest rifle of its time, coupled with the MG 42, it made it a deadly partner for combat in many Nazi army operations. 
No, this is actually lever locked I believe! The famas would be lever delayed. The cartridges start extracting as soon as the detonation happens while in our case here, it can’t be extracted until the bolt carrier picks up the bolt fully
Yes, it is a term describing a (select fire) rifle using an intermediate cartridge. It is (assault weapon) that has no meaning in the nomenclature of firearm text, it is a made up term by anti gunners to confuse the two different firearms so they could demonize semi auto firearms and ban them..
As long as the gun is powerful enough to take down a target at any range, has a selected fire and is light enough to run and gun about, you can call it an assault rifle.

Not much point in entire gas system shown if no port in the barrel
All that and you really can't show the animation of it picking up a round??

Really the Aks system is a copy of that of the garands, even kalesh himself admits it.

StG44 in CoD: Vanguard...... Such sacrilege.
better ergonomy than on most of later assault rifles from 50s and 60s

Very interesting. The way the bolt locks is very crude by today's standards but it works
Is it a lever delayed bolt, I noticed it doesn't have a bolt head that twists and locks like the AK and AR
No, this is actually lever locked I believe! The famas would be lever delayed. The cartridges start extracting as soon as the detonation happens while in our case here, it can’t be extracted until the bolt carrier picks up the bolt fully
@@itspersonnal6883 it's closer to how an SKS locks more than an AR or AK tbh
@@itspersonnal6883the famas has a delay before extraction. The lever accelerates the carrier prior to unlocking and then extraction
Yep, exactly, so it’s *locked* not *delayed*
Какие ещё идиоты сравнивают с АК.Главное показал механизм запирания затвора .
В деревне дверь сортира поленом подпирают, чтобы ветром не оторвало. Вот тут похожий механизм запирания.
That locking delay system is similar to the Bren's isn't it?
That system seems to be quite prevalent at the time among lmgs.
No, it is more like the SKS or FN FAL.
similar yes, tilting bolt design. i believe the fn fal also utilize a tilting bolt but its a short stroke piston instead of long
German and austria have thr best mechanic.
I am from Austria, so: Thank you. :-) 3DGunner
It only show s some what the mechanism. But not where gets it’s blow back ftom
I realized the same after I already uploaded the video. I will make a second video of the StG 44 in the future, where the gas system is shown also.
Stg44 is a gas operated rifle not blowback operated
Ого похож на автомат калашникова.
Смотрю немцы не стесняются копировать с калашникова.
This is older than the ak47
is there such a thing as assoult rifle ?

A copy of AK 😂
Are you dumb or something? StG desing dates from 1942 to 1944
The AK-47 desing dates from 1947 and was introduced around 1949
