That guy has some cool stuff. Pretty good at researching and explaining the history behind all the weapons and their designs too.

I watched the VG1-5 (Gustloffwerke) Rifle episode twice! Had never heard of it. The Nazi development and manufacturing of weapons is fascinating and this guy goes into great detail.

Good article on the VG1-5. New to me as well.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Volkssturmgewehr: The German VG1-5 'People's Storm Rifle'

While many are familiar with more widely known examples of late World War II German small arms like the MP44 and Gewehr 43, few know of the simplistic "People's Assault Rifle" designed and built specifically for use by the conscripted Volkssturm, the VG1-5 Volkssturmgewehr.
