My absolute favorite weapon in the game is the G43. It's powerful, accurate, and it's equally effective at close range and long range. I have never missed a shot with the G43 that I would have hit with the K98k, I just don't notice any difference in practical accuracy at all, even with the scope. I've never found bayonet to be necessary with a semi auto with 10-round mags - if you can't hit them with that you deserve to be stabbed. My best class in the game is the sturmpionier with the G43, grenades, and satchel charge.
The SVT-40 isn't as good. I'll always take it over a Mosin if I am a rifleman, though it is not accurate enough to use with a scope, so I always take the Mosin when I am sniper.
I find the StG 44 to be completely overrated. At long range, I'd rather have the power of the semi-automatics, and at close range a sub machinegun is a better choice because they have less recoil.
The only time I use a SMG is when I know I am going to only be fighting in very close quarters, in which case I will try to get an MP40. The Russian sub machineguns are just too hard to use at medium and long range, and seem to do less damage per bullet. The large magazines and high rate of fire are useless if the weapon is uncontrollable. I wish the PPSh-41 had a rate of fire selector.
Regardless of effectiveness, I have the most fun with the MG-42 by far. It's simply a beast.
