The AR-46 or Assault Rifle 1946 (Sometimes referred to as the STG-46) is a select-fire assault rifle that was the standard issued weapon of the Nazis during the last years of the Second World War.
History[]
In 1946, the Nazi Ministry of War requested an improved version of the STG-44, to act as the main weapon of the Wehrmacht, to replace the dated MP40 and Gewehr 43, from the Nazi Research bureau. However it was general Wilhelm Strasse that made the necessary preparations, and improved upon it's innovative design, and then created a whole new firearm, based on the principles of the STG-44. Although he did not alter the weapon's caliber, the weapon still delivered a powerful killing blow, and was used in many theatres across Europe, most notably used by the Schutzstaffel who protected Deathshead's Compound in Poland when it fell under attack by Allied forces.
The implementation of the assault rifles left Allied researchers scrambling to produce their own improved firearms, only just managing to produce the Thompson M1946, but failing to produce the numbers that were needed to compete with Nazi Germany's newly invigorated war machine. Whilst the Allies worked on their new creations, Wilhelm Strasse began focusing on other fields of experimentation, including the biological monstrosity of the Übersoldat, few new versions of accepted Nazi weaponry were developed, with the AR-46 proving more than capable as the main firearm of the Nazi Wehrmacht
After a 14 year service, used in putting down much of the resistance experienced under the Nazi's new world order, seeing usage in the subjugation of London, much of Britain, Poland, France and in Russia, the AR-46 was retired and replaced with in favor of the AR-60, an improved model of the widely used assault rifle. In 1960, Rock Dempsey and Agneta Tabatha were reported to have made contact a Kreisau circle cell, with crudely built copies of the AR-46 in their possession.
