	~~=HISTORY=~~
	The StG 44, or Sturmgewehr 44, stands as a pioneering force in the evolution of firearms, recognized as the world's first true assault rifle. Developed by Nazi Germany during World War II, this revolutionary weapon combined the accuracy of a rifle with the rapid fire of a submachine gun. Its innovative design influenced subsequent generations of firearms, shaping modern infantry tactics and weaponry worldwide. The StG 44 symbolizes a pivotal moment in military history, marking a shift towards versatile, automatic firearms that would redefine the battlefield for decades to come.

			'''The StG 44''' (''Sturmgewehr 44'') is a German 7.92×33mm Kurz selective-fire rifle developed during World War II. It is best known for pairing an intermediate-power cartridge with a 30-round detachable magazine to provide controllable automatic fire at typical combat ranges—features that heavily influenced later assault-rifle design. In ''Military Conflict: Vietnam'', the tables above list its in-game values pulled directly from the weapon script.

			The StG 44 traces its development through earlier designations (MP 43/MP 44) before receiving the “Sturmgewehr 44” name in 1944. It was designed around the 7.92×33mm Kurz cartridge, which reduced recoil and weight compared to full-power rifle ammunition while still offering effective performance at intermediate ranges. Although produced in large numbers for late-war Germany, it appeared too late and in insufficient quantities to change the outcome of the war; however, it became a landmark in small-arms history and helped define what later militaries recognized as the assault-rifle concept.

	~~<hr>~~		After World War II, surviving StG 44 rifles circulated as captured or surplus weapons and are documented as turning up in a variety of later conflicts in limited numbers. In a Vietnam-era context, they were not a standard-issue rifle for any major belligerent, but isolated examples have been reported among the many older and non-standard weapons that occasionally surfaced through post-war redistribution and capture.
