The **Gewehr 1943** (often referred to as simply the **G43** and occasionally, **Karabiner 43**) is a German Semi-Automatic Rifle part of the Berlin Axis and Normandy Axis' arsenals. Both of the Gewehr 41's made by Walther and Mauser shared a gas-trap operating system to comply with an HWa requirement that no gas ports be drilled into the barrels. After being put into field testing, it because clear that the gas trap system was not suitable for combat. The Walther company responded with a new version of their design which used a much more modern short stroke gas piston, inspired by the Soviet SVT-40 rifle.

## Overview

The **Gewehr 43** is an upgrade of the Gewehr 41, using a detachable magazine that allows for a faster reload in comparison and less recoil. The G43's a solid semi-automatic rifle that does its job well, a fair competitor to the SVT 40 and considered better than the M1 Garand due to having 2 additional bullets in the magazine and faster reload speed. The sights can be a bit iffy, but it shouldn't be much different than that of the SVT 40.

### Pros

* Respectable shot dispersion (Shared with all Semi-Automatic Rifles).
* Able to tack on CQB engagements, not being as punishing as Bolt-Action rifles due to it's nature.

The **Sniper Gewehr 43** is a German Semi-Automatic Rifle part of the Berlin Axis and Normandy Axis' arsenals. Though most G43's are equipped with a telescopic sight mounting rail, the vast majority of the rifles were issued in their standard infantry form without a scope. When equipped with a scope, it was exclusively with the ZF-4 telescopic sight.

## Overview

Despite having the same scope of the FG 42 II, the **Sniper Gewehr 43** has weaker magnification. The magnification allows this weapon to be more accurate when engaging enemies at ranges farther than 50 meters, making it a good tool for countersniping. The rifle has a strange issue in which you aren't able to look down the iron sights, as tapping ads will make you look down the scope regardless. This shouldn't cause too much issue with the scope's lower magnification.

### Pros

* Respectable shot dispersion (Shared with all Semi-Automatic Rifles).
* Able to tack on CQB engagements, not being as punishing as Bolt-Action rifles due its nature.

### Cons

* Low magnifications, better used as a Markman rifle than a dedicated Sniper rifle.
* This variant is not capable of mounting a Bayonet either due to Sniper Scope mount.
