FROM WIKIPEDIA

The Volkssturmgewehr is the name of several rifle designs developed by Nazi Germany during the final months of World War II. They share the common characteristic of being greatly simplified as to adapt with the severe lack of resources and industrial capacity in Germany during the final stages of the war. The Volkspistole was a partner program, almost identical, but for pistols instead.
