Answerthe Germans created the Panzerfaust, a Small rocket launcher, which literally translates into "armor fist"

the Germans created some of the the most impressive weapons the world had ever seen.the mg42 machine gun they invented during World War 2 is still used in many armies today..the 88mm flak gun was designed for anti-aircraft use but its operators discovered that it was also a great anti-tank gun.they also invented the worlds first ballistic and inter-continental missiles.the v1 and v2 rockets.they had the first jet engined air-craft.the Germans also had infra-red night vision during ww2.maybe there best weapon of all was there highly trained army,probably the best fighting army in human history,and under a high command that no country could match.

Answer 2

I will presume you are referring to small arms. Rifles: Mauser Karabiner 98k (bolt action) Mauser/Walther Gewehr 43 (semi-automatic) SMG: Maschinenpistole 40 aka MP-40 Machineguns: Maschinengewehr 34 Maschinengewehr 42 Assault Rifles: Sturmgewehr 44 aka StG.44 or MP-44 There were many others, but this is a good start.

Answer 3

The actual weapons used by the Nazis on foot(meaning their actual guns) were the Mauser Kar 98k,the Maschinepistole 40(MP40) "Schmeisser" SMG,the Gerwher 43 or G43,and the Sturm Gerwher 44(or STG44) assault rifle,also known as the MP44. The Germans created the first assault rifle(mentioned above as the STG44) and the first actual jets and ballistic missiles. The first jet was the Messerschmidt Me262 "Swable"(or Swallow). The first ballistic missile was known as the V-2 rocket. Its predecessor was the V-1 rocket. The actual fighter planes used were the Messerschmidt bf 109 fighter,the Focke-Wulfe fw 190,and later on the Me262 at the end of the war. The main bomber was the Junkers ju 87 "Stuka" dive bomber,and the Junkers ju 88 as the primary high-altitude bomber. The Germans had an array of different Panzers so i can't name those in this answer.

Answer 4

The primary weapon on land (besides the rifle and cannon) were the machine guns. They were the new dominating weapon used for the second time in the 20th century; the first time they were used for general service was by the Russians during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Submarines and wooden cloth covered airplanes were used at sea and in the air. One would've thought that the primary combatants of WW1; the Germans, French, British, and the US, would NOT have deployed their men in "human wave attacks" as they did in WW1. Because those very same countries had sent military observers to the Russo-Japanese War in 1904-1905...and witnessed first hand the destructive power of the machine gun against massed infantry attacks. And yet, only ten years later in 1914 those military leaders sent their men directly into the mouths of the machine guns of WW1.

Answer 5

Nazi Germany developed and used hundreds of weapons during the Second World War. I will name a few of the most recognized ones.

-The MP40 machine pistol. 32 round stick magazine. Commonly given to tank crews, paratroopers, and Rottenfuhrers (group leaders).

-The Karabiner 98k. Bears the nonclementure of the Kar98k. Bolt action rifle. Standard weapon used by the Wehrmacht.

-Luger P08 9mm pistol. 7 round clip. Standard sidearm for all branches of the Reichswehr/Wehrmacht.

Answer 6

There were several types of guns used, but some of the better known types were the MP40, STG41, MG42, FG42, and the KAR98k. There were also some Italian guns in use during the time.
