Hey Skunk,
Winstonsmith answered the FG42 question already, but just for additional info in case you're curious, the rifle was used by the German paratroopers, hence its name which translates to paratroopers rifle. It was produced in two versions...the first version had a very slanted grip, and the second version had a more traditional looking grip.
Also interesting, it was developed amongst interservice rivalry and politics and ended up being designed and made, if i remember correctly, by an aircraft manufacturer rather than a firearms manufacturer. Also, it fired semi-auto from closed bolt and full auto from an open bolt!
