Krieghoff Paratroop Rifle

The Krieghoff rifle.

The Krieghoff Paratrooper Rifle was a prototype rifle developed in Nazi Germany in the early 1940s.

History[]

The Krieghoff Paratrooper Rifle was one of three prototypes to enter trials for the Fallshirmjäger service rifle, the others being the Knorr-Bremse Paratrooper Rifle and the FG 42. It was ultimately rejected in favor of the FG 42, after which Krieghoff started producing their own FG 42 rifles.[1]
