Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 (Book by Dieter Handrich) 2016

However, the book does not confine itself to presenting the development history of the three FG 42 models and describing their technical details, including the reproduction of instruction manuals.

It also highlights the disadvantages compared with another legendary weapon, the 44 assault rifle, and deals with the birth of parachute troops and their engagements within the time frame of the FG 42's development.
