A weapon similar to the M2 carbine for Japan, Russia, and Germany

I will never stop campaigning for the M2 Carbine to be put in Assault where it belongs!

I’d rather have period correct Allies/USSR/Japan submachine guns that have similar stat with STG family rather than adding wonky bullshit assault rifles that barely saw service in world war two.

Or just treat STG family as submachine gun, give them similar stat to other submachine guns and call it a day

Okay, let’s imagine what it would look like for Japan, what historical Japan would be like. Here’s your Arisaka, you have very few Submachine Guns for your entire team, literally only a handful. You either don’t have semi-automatic rifles or only a couple of pieces per team, most of your tanks are Ha-Go and Chi-Ha, there are better ones, but they are few, you also don’t have anti-tank grenade launchers, because you made them, but as far as I know they didn’t have time to participate in the fighting, Japan capitulated earlier. The only anti-tank means you have is Type 97. Now with all this you have to fight with the Americans who have every infantryman armed with M1 Garand, M1 Carbine, who have a pretty good number of submachine guns, there are Bazookas and so on. And good luck killing a Sherman with a Ha-Go.

Yeah there is 0 evidence that something like “STG 1-5” ever existed.

First of all “1-5” is a misunderstanding, as it meant 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Secondly, Volkssturmgewehr means “Volkssturm’s weapon”, not “People’s assault rifle”, as evident from “VG” and not “VStG”.

How long must we wait for them to finally properly name it MP 507!

For the USSR, the following carbines or pp Korovin may be a stretch.

This one could work

They were real Ian in his video about VG 1-5 mentions that few select fire variant were made as experiment(At 4.57 he mentions it)

The MP 508 would be able to fill that role for Germany, its basically just the VG1-5 with a full auto option.
MP508-1263871445

This would be so much better than the m2 carbine though, because 8x33 is more powerful and accurate than .30 carbine

Basically asking for STGs for every class with that one

full auto vg 1-5 doesnt exist

It doesnt have a full auto option, it just has a foregrip. Full Auto VG 1-5 is a myth and mistake made by Battlefield 5.

Given its caliber, it can be considered more of an “assault rifle.”

I saw references to VGs with automatic fire even before BF5 came out.

Doesnt make it any more real
Its the same mis-translation error.
