I thought those kinds are STG44's?
My other passion is collecting live machineguns. Heres a video a friend shot a couple of years ago at his gun club in Hanson, MA. My friend called and said "grab a couple of WW2 guns and we'll have a WW2 shoot". I think you'll recognize the MP44....MG 34 beltfed and the MP 40 submachinegun. My buddies Thompson had an issue and was running fast...they don't usually run that quick!

The 8mm kurz ammo for the MP44 was made in '44 and it sure was smoky!
You ate right it is a STG44 that is short for strumgewehr (spelling) or storm rifle. The also called it the MP44 MP for machine pistol and 44 for the year 1944 for which it was made.
