The FG-42 Type E was a revolutionary German paratrooper rifle developed by Rheinmetall, designed to combine the compactness of a Kar98k with the firepower of a light machine gun. It featured select-fire capability, firing from a closed bolt in semi-auto and an open bolt in full-auto for cooling, chambered in 8x57mm Mauser. Despite its advanced design, including a unique recoil buffer and side-mounted magazine, its complex and expensive production limited its numbers, making it a rare and highly sought-after historical firearm.
