Now, I am not looking for Axis war-winning PODs here. I'm more interested in seeing whether the MP44 was really a significant weapon in its own right when compared to contemporary rifles, light machine guns, and the future AK47. Was the MP44 a real good weapon too late in the war, not finding itself in the hands of enough experienced soldiers, or was it like the early M16 and prone to failures and such?
Is there anyway the MP44, without ASBs, can make such an impact that the West, along with the USSR, develops their own assault rifles for use by the time of the Korean War?
