Germany's Gewehr 41 Compared With the Garand
The Gewehr 41, used by some German forces, combines elements of the Garand with unique features. It is 44% inches long, weighs about 10% pounds more, and uses 115 parts versus the Garand’s 77. The gun has a simple two five round clip loading system, easy cleaning, and a distinct gas pressure operation. Lieutenant Charles Schwartz notes it has useful features but is not extraordinary and unlikely to be widely used soon.
