The G43 rifle (right) was the German counterpart of the Soviet SVT40. It used full-power 8mm Mauser round and was issued primarily to snipers. The telescopic sight was standard. In common with the MP40, it has a cocking handle on the left, a peculiarly German expedient. Please note that the current laws already prohibit Americans from producing or importing any rifles that are more capable than this obsolete design. Even its contemporaty MP44 or the BAR (which predates it by twenty years) are off limits to us. Some cheery thought.
