7.65 X 35 FURRER

This was a “Pistolengewehr” development dating from around 1921 by Swiss engineer Adolf Furrer, who was the director of Waffenfabrik Bern. The Pistolengewehr was a toggle-action short-recoil operated weapon with a side-mounted 30 round magazine with a wooden stock. It was based on a shortened 7.5×55 GP11 case which used a 123gr round-nosed bullet at a little over 2,000 fps. WWI had taught designers like Furrer that more firefights took place at shorter distances, for which the GP11 was kind of over-powered. The idea was making a smaller cartridge so the soldier could carry more ammunition and a new magazine fed semi-automatic service rifle for more fire power.

A gun that could full fill the M1 and M2 carbine role for Germany we know they have all been itching for. Both are lightweight long barreled guns with an intermediate round. Tech tree or event so you can get them 2 at a time till you fill a full 9 man squad. as a semi auto locked cut down 15 round gun it would feel just like an m1 carbine. as a select fire 30 round gun it would feel just like an m2 carbine.

Adolf Hitler the furher, furrer is the good clone of hitler and ghandi not lincon

I’d love to see it at BR2; Germany is at a significant disadvantage regarding rifles at that BR.
