Because the StG-44 , FG-42 and MG-42 were superior.

Not really comparable to a semi automatic battle rifle. The g41 and g43 are better analogues although they weren't very good.

Its for cutting wires. Those planes would feign surrender then go in for landings on enemy carriers. That spike would cut arresting wires on the flight deck.

Why shoot planes down when you can just make their landings impossible?

> Compares 1938 service rifle with 2 LMG's and a 1944 rifle.

Minimi has more blat per minute than M16, lets arm every infantryman with Minimis.

How do you define a carbine? Could you call a 16" AR a carbean whereas a 20" would be a full length rifle?

yes to the second part, not really sure for the first part. ive always thought of it as a shorter, handier version of a rifle but im sure someone more articulate could reply to this question
