Yes, the MP-43 and MP-44 were great machine carbines. If I remember correctly, used the 7.92 X 25 mm bottleneck cartridge. Picked up one
in Germany at WW 2 end while waiting to go home and it sure impressed me. Wish I could have sent it home but it was on the no no list. Must have fired a thousand rds through it just plinking. (ammo was free).
Sometimes I think it was the beginning of the assault rifle bit.0 -

1. 7.92x33 Kurz was the caliber.
2. Yep, this was the model labeled a "machine pistol" during development, then renamed "sturmgewehr" or "assault rifle" by none other than Adolph Hitler. The Stg43/44 defines the characteristics of an assault rifle (as opposed to anti-gun politicians who define the characteristics of an "assault weapon").0 -

... almost the beginning.
The Italian, Cei-Rigotti, developed in the 1890's and completed around 1900 was probably the actual beginning. The first used in combat ... was the Russian Fedorov Avtomat, in 1916, chambered for the Japanese Arisaka 6.5 x 50 mm rifle cartridge.[:D]0
