He means it has been named M43 even thought it has been produced from 1941 onwards.

The name M43 comes from the adoption of the Hungarian forces, not from the date of the start of production.

Ah, yeah, I got that, but I didn't get the hip-shooters bit. Anyways, if it was adopted in 1943 by the Hungarians, even if production did start in 1941, surely no one at Stalingrad had it? Or did the Hungarians export it to surronding nations which adopted it as a service rifle?

The Hungarians produced it for the German Army and then adopted it in 1943 for themselves.

So it's entirely possible that there would be some G98/40's (german designation for the M43) around in Stalingrad.

Well, Most of them probably were used in Second line units and anti partisan units anyway.

I'm for adding it, but only if TWI has some free time. :p
