The STG-44 (right) was a German assault rifle made in 1944.  It was in service until the end of world war two by the Nazis in 1945. The STG-44 is one of the first massed produced assault rifles of its time. It fired a 7.92 mm round, this round is bigger than the Ak47's 7.62mm and the M16's 5.56mm. The STG-44 wieghed in at 11.5 pounds slightly heavier than the 11.6 pound U.S. M1 grand.
