I had a few questions about the G/K-43 (G43) and Fallschirmjager. I know that G43's were issued to FJ's, but in what capacity?
Were they primarily issued as sniper weapons? ad-hoc issue depending on rotation, refitting or rear area resupply? did circumstances change as the war dragged on? ie late 43: sniper, late 44: standard infantry weapon ? and lastly, how would the regular jager have equiped himself field gear wise if he had been issued a G43? (ie G43 pouch and bandoleer?, G43 pouch and K98 pouch, etc)
any discussion is appreciated - just trying to drawl out some consensus and opinions.
