I had the opportunity to run a replica FG42 generously on loan from SMG Guns at the local 2 gun match this last weekend.

What a wonderful rifle!

Fun video -
Makes me ask a more interesting question (to me anyway.)

Does anyone have pictures of either of the 1944 AOK trials where the FG42 was tested against the MP44?
These trials are discussed in depth in the Collector's grade publication "Sturmgewehr!", but no pics.
This was serious business and makes quite interesting reading.
