The specter of more gun control and fear for personal safety have driven sales for assault rifles and other guns. Related: Why the AR-15 is the mass shooter's go-to weaponĪssault rifles are controversial because of their use in mass shootings, like earlier this month at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, where 49 people were murdered. The new guns use the same ammunition as AR-15s and AK-47s. Steil said the new Sturmgewehr can be used with smaller 10-round magazines that are legal in the more restrictive states, as well as larger 50-round magazines. The original Sturmgewehr used a 30-round magazine, which is high capacity and illegal in states like New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. "So many guests want to the shoot the 'world's first assault rifle' but new replacement parts are just so hard to find since the weapon hasn't been made since 1945." "Until then, we are still using our original MP-44s but sadly, they aren't holding up very well," said Cheney in an email. Ron Cheney of Battlefield Vegas in Las Vegas said he ordered a new Sturmgewehr from Hill & Mac which he expects to receive in August. But Steil said they also make full auto versions for gun ranges, like Battlefield Vegas, where tourists can fire a variety of military guns including vintage Sturmgewehrs, also known as MP-44s. Most of the guns made by Hill & Mac just have the semi-automatic setting for civilian customers.
The original Sturmgewehr had two settings: semi-automatic and full auto.
By the time Hitler realized the Sturmgewehr's potential, the Nazis were on an irreversible course to lose the war. But its development was suppressed by Hitler, a World War I veteran with a more traditional view towards small arms. The Sturmgewehr was an innovative break-through combining the best features of the infantry rifle and the submachine gun. Steil admires the gun's anachronistic style, which he described as "art deco Bauhaus," making it recognizable to players of World War II video games like "Call of Duty."
They're testing them before shipping begins. Steil said his company has fewer than 10 employees and has manufactured just 40 of the rifles so far. "Everybody makes an AR-15 everybody makes a polymer frame pistol." Hill & Mac Gunworks of Georgia is making working replicas of the Sturmgewehr, the world's first assault rifle, invented by the Nazis. "The market is flooded right now with the same kind of products," he said. Steil said that he wanted to produce something unusual. Steil co-founded Hill & Mac in 2012 as a manufacturer of steel targets.
