The MP/StG44 may be many things, but the forerunner or 'daddy' of the Ak it most certainly is NOT ! This is a myth perpetated by people who have shot, stripped or handled neither of them. Even a cursory look at the actions will show that they are very different, the fact that theyboth have pistol grips and urved magazines is purely form following function.

This was the forerunner of the AK-47. It was a good weapon but nothing special.

The first in its role as an Assault rifle, the mp43/stg44 was an important weapon in history. Prone to stoppages in muddy conditions, it was nevertheless effective and would have caused headaches in larger numbers. It did influence the post war AK layout, however the action was of indiginous Soviet design

Good weapon. The design is good. It actually is the dad of the Russian AK-47.
