> The "AK-47" saw combat in world war 2 as the German "StG_44"
The StG 44 was a different rifle with a different design.
> The StG_44 was a large round, automatic, large capacity, no belt, replaceable clip, death machine.
The StG 44's round was only slightly larger than the Soviets' AK round; the only reason for their slight difference is that each country decided to make their new intermediate round by taking the same caliber as their respective full-power rounds and making them shorter. (For ease of manufacturing.)
> Once the Russians captured a StG_44 they quickly modified it, and designed the AK-47
They copied the concept (using a smaller round to shed weight and gain volume of fire), but the actual weapon design was new.
