Not until 1937 did the German Army begin to take
interest in semi automatic rifles. It is believed
the standardization of the US Army's M1
Garand had something to do with their timing. The
first self loading rifle to be produced in some
quantity was the Gewehr 41. These were sent to the
Eastern Front, and lost there. While the rifle did
work, it wasn't popular. In the words of one
man, the muzzle cone had a "built in fouling
generator". Its muzzle cone demanded constant
maintenance or burnt powder and foreign deposits
rendered the rifle useless. The weapon was poorly
balanced, difficult to handle, and extremely heavy
for an infantry rifle. The next model, the Gewehr
43 had a similar internal layout to the Soviet SVT
and was much lighter, balanced, and included a
machined-out dovetail section on the receiver for
mounting a scope. A large number of rifles were
issued for sniping with the Zundblickfernrohr 4
telescope. The G43 gained a good reputation for
accuracy and reliability and was extensively used
on the Eastern Front after 1943.
