In a somewhat unrelated development, Mauser continued design work on a series of experimental weapons in an effort to produce an acceptable service-wide rifle for the short cartridge system. One of these prototypes, a product of the engineers at the Light Weapon Development Group (Abteilung 37 ) at Oberndorf, was the MKb Gerät 06 (Maschinenkarabiner Gerät 06 or “machine carbine device 06”) first appearing in 1942. This gun used a unique gas piston-delayed roller-locked action derived from the short recoil operation of the MG 42 machine gun but with a fixed barrel and gas system. It was realized that with careful attention to the mechanical ratios, the gas system could be omitted. The resultant weapon, the Gerät 06(H) , was supposedly slated for adoption by the Wehrmacht as the StG 45(M) . The operating principle lived on in postwar designs from CEAM/AME, CETME, and most famously, Heckler & Koch.
