This review of the STG44 Krummlauf attachment reveals surprising ballistic performance, with the curved barrel showing minimal velocity loss and intact bullet integrity in gel tests, contrary to historical myths.

The device is extremely rare, difficult to handle due to its front-heavy nature, and features a unique periscope sight.
This short explains why a handgun barrel might appear bent when the slide is locked back. It clarifies that this is a normal characteristic of tilt-barrel designs, common in many modern handguns like the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield Plus. The downward angle of the barrel when tilted is crucial for creating an optimal feed ramp angle, ensuring reliable chambering of the next round.
