The Sturmgewehr 44 (StG44) is considered the world's first assault rifle. It was developed during World War II in Nazi Germany and became a revolutionary breakthrough in the development of infantry weapons. The name "Sturmgewehr" means "assault rifle", and is where the term for modern assault rifles comes from. The StG44 was introduced in 1943 in response to the need for a weapon with more firepower and accuracy at medium ranges than the machine guns of the time offered. The StG44 used the 7.92×33mm Kurz cartridge, a compromise between pistol cartridges and rifle cartridges, which allowed for a greater cadence of fire while still providing sufficient accuracy at medium range. The weapon was highly regarded for its effectiveness and became the forerunner of modern assault rifles such as the AK-47 and M16. Although the StG44 was introduced into service relatively late in the war and did not reach full distribution, its impact on the development of military weapons is undeniable. Today, the StG44 is a collector's item and an icon of military history.
