Axis, clearly the better choice.
German Engineering.
Lol "German Engineering" its on this thread so much its like we're advertising for Volkswagen!
I keep hearing this garbage but T-34 was the best tank and germans copied the sloping armor style on Panther, G-41 was garbage and they copied SVT-40 system to make G-43 and germans copied the american bazooka to come up with their panzerschrek.
German engineering.
and the AK wasn't "heavily influenced" by the Stg.44?
StG44 and AK-47 are vastly different weapons internally, but it was still heavily influenced by the StG44, if not only because Mikhail Kalashnikov himself admitted Hugo Schmeisser, the lead designer of the StG44 weapon, helped build it. He also wasn't the only German weapon designer to be shipped off to Russia after the war either."Heavily influenced" in that it was the first mass produced assault rifle which gave Kalashnikov the idea to make his own assault rifle, yes. But they are totally different weapons internally.
Common mistake, but the StG44 and AK-47 have the same relationship that the M1 Thompson and the PPSh do: they're the same class of weapon. That's about it.
