Give axis players the secret project gun known as STMG-42 (Sturm Machine Gewehr-42)
A Shorter lighter version of the MG-42 that did the following:
Utilized a Bullpup desing to maintain the barell length and shorten the rifle while not just mainting it’s accuraccy range but boosting it due to Krupp hammer forging.
Dramatically decreased the weight by shortening the gun and ulitizing Polymer for it’s stracture.
It was chambered on it’s own round, the forgoten 7.62x39 Kurz a composite-case cartridge that combined the velocity of a 5.56 with the stopping power and range perfomance of a Russian 7.62x39 which was a simplistic copy since the Russian could not replicate the sophisticated composite-cased polymer design.
Modularity due to the forgoten Werner rail system later coppied by Picatinny, so it could mount the ZF4 telescopic sights, various grips and even a canted ZF5 Reflex sight.
Last but not least it could fire the APAF 40 (Anti-Personen/Anti-Fahrzeug 40) a dual purpose 40mm grenade which could go through 100mm of armor and was later copied by the French in the 50s.
This gun is a MUST to counter Russian smgs, it used a 35 round mag which i know is half what the PPD/PPSH have but the overall damage output, muzzle velocity and high enough firerate can make up for in CQ. In addition it’s multi-role capabilities due to the round, scopes, controlability and anti tank capabilites, could also balance the AVT at the same time. It’s killing 2 birds with one stone! On the DOWNSIDE though it was a bullpup so expect a long reload maybe even above 4 seconds due to Russian bias.

this gave me the mental image of sledge’s gun from r6 with a grendage launcher
Summary
Dunno what it is but based
British L85A1 with HK EGLM
Still prefer Suoli KP 32 with dual drummag and underbarrel panzerfaust. Would be pretty good trooper/engi weapon

actually, I think the last unlock for a campaign should be a free squad slot, that way you get 2 slots for completing both axis and allies side, giving extra reason to grind your favourite campaign even further.

quite possibly the least based modern rifle ever to exist
have you heard of the great great grandchild of the glorious M1 carbine?
found it:
double magazine for a 80 rounds in total.
kruppel steel chassy, stainless steel gear box with angle grip,
2 sights for extra zoom ( which can be detached for the use of holo sights of course. ) and few Grenadil, African Blackwood stock parts for cheap and easy to keep up production. unfortunately, this version above does not come with the grenade launcher yet, but i’m sure it will be delivered when we will solve the logistic problems that we currently have to cross half balcans without getting bombarded by the ally, or some pesky sneaky partisans. oh, and we will have sufficent fuel for all of our trucks or even just a train.
this lovely beast, can even be used in the moon.
what not to like.
i mean, historical accurate as well.
a plus one from me.

this doesn’t seem legit, i see no picatini rails and it’s not a bullpup maybe an earlier stage prototype though, plus that these are stg mags, they should be looking like some extended A-47 mags since they share the diameter but as said already the russians could not produce polymer compsite ammo
