This video examines three rare end-of-WW2 German prototype rifles: the VG1-5, VG1, and VG5. The VG1-5, likely developed by Walther, is a semi-automatic rifle chambered for 8mm Kurz, featuring stamped sheet metal construction and accepting an MP44 magazine. The VG1, also possibly Walther-made, is a crude-looking bolt-action rifle using a K43 magazine. The VG5, manufactured by BNZ (Steyr), is a bolt-action rifle resembling a K98 but intended for the Volkssturm, characterized by its simple, crude construction and lack of a bottom plate.
