Shortest Rifle used in WW2, and it’s not what you thought! #gun #carbine
The M44 Mosin Nagant carbine was not the shortest carbine used in World War II, but it was one of the more compact and lightweight rifles used during the war.
The M44 was a shortened and modified version of the Mosin Nagant Model 91/30 rifle, designed for use by Soviet troops during World War II. It had a barrel length of 20 inches (510 mm) and an overall length of 40 inches (1,020 mm), making it shorter and more maneuverable than the longer and heavier Mosin Nagant rifles. The M44 was also designed with a folding bayonet, which added to its overall length and made it a versatile and useful tool for infantry soldiers.
However, there were other carbines used during World War II that were shorter than the M44. For example, the German Karabiner 98k had a barrel length of 23.6 inches (600 mm) and an overall length of 43.7 inches (1,110 mm), making it slightly longer than the M44 but still relatively compact for a rifle of its caliber. The American M1 Carbine, designed as a lightweight and portable rifle for paratroopers and other troops, had a barrel length of 18 inches (460 mm) and an overall length of 35.6 inches (900 mm), making it one of the shortest carbines used during the war.
