∙ 12y agoThe machine guns were MG-42s, which are an improvement on the MG-34, then there were also MP-40s, which are the first sub machine guns, and there were also the Mauser Karbine (kar for short) 1898s which are bolt action I'm going to go with 8mm bullets. I am not positive but the STG-44, or MP-44 (which ever you prefer) which was the first assault rifle which was first counted as an assault rifle and sub machine gun, in which the AK (automatic Kaleshnikov) 1947 was based off of which was build by a Russian tank general. I think but am not positive but I think the MP in MP-40/MP-44 stands for machenen pistole which means sub machine gun in German.

Winchester used to call a rifle that disassembled into two parts-their "takedown model." If your rifle is a "takedown" rifle, it's a paratrooper model. Could be a Type 38 (6.5mm) or a Type 99 (7.7mm), then if it's a takedown...it might have another designation; like Type 2 (as an example). If it's in original condition (and good condition), they could go about 2 thousand dollars to a collector.
