That's the German STG 44. It's the first "assault rifle" (Hitler himself coined that term BTW. It was manufactured from about 43 until the end of the war in 45. Te Soviet AK-47 is sort of based on this although they deny the shite out of it.

I would say its more than sort of based on it...hell they look like brothers.

But, a lot of countries used German stuff...

Yep. It's name was "Sturmgewehr" literally translates to such. "Strum" is German for "storm" or "assault" while "gewehr" is the German word for rifle.

BTW... This was the MP18. It was made by the German Empire during WWI. It was the first sub-machine gun to see mass use in warfare.
