Krummlauf Curved Barrel on an StG-44

Today’s item is a very cool piece - a German Sturmgewehr with a “krummlauf“, or curved barrel attachment. This is the 30 degree type, intended (as goofy as this sounds) for firing around corners and over barricades in urban combat. A 90-degree version was also made for use in armored vehicles.
