About Walther Gewehr 41
The Gewehr 41 is a German semi-automatic rifle. It had become clear that some sort of automatic rifle with a higher rate of fire than most bolt-action rifles was needed by 1940 to improve the military's combat efficiency. With the requirements submitted to two manufacturers, Mauser and Walther, both set out to create a rifle for said requirements, with both rifles turning out to be rather similar. With the creation of this rifle, some restrictions were imposed on the design; those being that no holes are to be bored into the barrel to tap gas for the action, that the rifles were not to have any moving parts on the surface of the weapon, and that in the event the auto-loading system malfunctioned or catastrophically failed, an auxiliary bolt-action was to be added.
