The VG1-5 was a last-ditch German rifle from the end of World War 2, designed for the Volksturm. It utilizes a gas-delayed blowback action with approximately six pounds of reciprocating mass. This mechanism uses gas pressure vented from the barrel to delay the opening of the action, ensuring reliable cycling. The rifle is chambered in 8x33 Kurz and compatible with Sturmgewehr magazines.
This video examines a unique VG 1-5 prototype, potentially an MP 508, featuring unusual 1911 A1 pistol grips. Research suggests it was a full-auto variant, possibly recovered from the Walther factory by OSS agents. The rifle uses Sturmgewehr magazines and lacks serial numbers, making it a rare find for collectors.
