The Gustloff Volksturmgewehr is a German assault rifle chambered in 7.92x33mm Kurz. It is one of the last products of the Primitiv-Waffen-Programm, which sought to design weapons for arming masses of barely trained soldiers. These weapons were mostly used to replace older submachineguns and rifles in rear-line and colonial service, as though inaccurate and impractical for long range fire, they possessed the versatility of an assault rifle. A few hundred thousand of these rifles were produced from 1944 to 1946, ceasing almost as soon as the war ended. They were shortly replaced by the original StG-series weapons in German service. Though considered a "budget assault rifle" in Oceanyka, its capability to rain down controlled automatic fire is appreciated, nonetheless.

Offensive Mentality - German Small Arms (WW2)
German soldiers during World War II were always forced, by strategic circumstances, into a defensive posture. This idea was habitually thrown aside, as they'd been trained to attack, attack and keep attacking until the enemy was dead and victory was achieved. Apparently, it worked.
EFFECT:
This weapon's damage is maximised if, in the same turn, its user performs a Sprint (1 AP).
