That's funny, you didn't mention the Stg-44 in your rants

That's because I didn't feel it was necessary, since it's so fucking obvious, I mentioned the intermediate cartridge from the beginning, can you fit an intermediate cartridge in a name? no, is most cases (and I know this is difficult for you to understand), a cartridge would go in a firearm, hence anyone with the barest minimum of intellectual capacity would assume other people to understand this concept, and make the connection that the person was referring to the rifle that carries the name, and not just the name itself.

By the way mp-43/44 were just early designations for the STG-44, I guess you didn't look it up hard enough.
