Germany wins WWII. How does this affect small arms development?

More and better versions of the:
StG 44
Kar98K
Gewehr 43
MP40
Walter PPK
MG 42
Panzerfaust 250
Panzerschreck

Those would be the ones that will see newer, better versions.
 
The StG 44, Kar 98, G 43 & MP 40 were all supposed to be replaced by the StG 45 (the daddy of the H & K G3)

No more Kar98s or Gewehr 43s except for sniper weapons. StG44 becomes the G3 of OTL after development. Machine Pistols becomes a specialist weapon. Panzerschreck is gone and the RPG7-ish weapon results from the Panzerfaust. MG42 becomes something like the MG3. I think some sort of Autorifle pops up.
 
I don't see the utility of discussing an utterly impossible scenario.

Anyway, in case this thread is sent to the ASB sub-forum, I'd say that the Waffen SS gets the shiny new über-STGs, while a significant portion of the German military, especially the non-German part, will be stuck with the K98.
