The StG 44 (German: Sturmgewehr 44; English: Assault Rifle model 1944) was a German automatic rifle designed in 1944.

It had a rate of fire of 500-600 rounds per minute and an effective range of 300 meters.

In Battlefield 1942, the StG 44 is issued to the Wehrmacht, Afrika Korps and Imperial Japanese Navy (prior to its replacement by the Type 99 in the v1.45 patch) Assault kit. It is similar to its American counterpart, the M1918 BAR, in terms of power. It has slightly more spread with its shots (hence reduced accuracy) and a 30 round magazine, as opposed to the 20 round magazine found on the BAR.
