The FG 42 Type II represented a late-war simplification of Rheinmetall's select-fire paratrooper rifle, replacing the original straight-line stock and side-mounted magazine of the Type I with a more conventional angled stock and vertical magazine to speed production as German manufacturing capacity came under increasing wartime strain. This 1945 example dates from the very end of FG 42 production.
