Production of the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr occurred from January 1945 till the end of the war; roughly 10,000 were made. </p><p>This gun was initially called <b>MP 507</b>.<sup id="cite_ref-brat_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-brat-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The <b>MP 508</b> was fairly similar except it had a semi-pistol grip stock.<sup id="cite_ref-McNab2013_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-McNab2013-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The weapon employed the same <a href="/wiki/7.92%C3%9733mm_Kurz" title="7.92×33mm Kurz">7.92×33mm Kurz</a> <a href="/wiki/Intermediate_cartridges" class="mw-redirect" title="Intermediate cartridges">intermediate cartridge</a> as the earlier <a href="/wiki/StG_44" title="StG 44">StG 44</a> <a href="/wiki/Assault_rifle" title="Assault rifle">assault rifle</a> and also used the same detachable 30-round <a href="/wiki/Magazine_(firearms)#Box" title="Magazine (firearms)">box magazine</a>. </p><p>The Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr uses a gas-delayed blowback action based on the Barnitzke system, whereby gas bled from the barrel near the chamber creates resistance to the rearward impulse of the operating parts, which ceases when the projectile leaves the muzzle, allowing the operating parts to be forced rearward by the residual pressure of the cartridge case. This principle has been used most successfully in the <a href="/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch" title="Heckler & Koch">Heckler & Koch</a> <a href="/wiki/Heckler_%26_Koch_P7" title="Heckler & Koch P7">P7</a> pistol. </p><p>The Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr is constructed rather like many <a href="/wiki/Semi-automatic_pistol" title="Semi-automatic pistol">semi-automatic pistols</a>, it has a casing and <a href="/wiki/Spring_(device)" title="Spring (device)">spring</a> around the barrel; the whole casing recoils backward. The breech block, with firing pin and extractor, is pinned to the back end of the barrel casing. The rear end of the gun does not recoil and has the hammer, sear and trigger built into it. Gas coming from four vents, near the end of the barrel, holds the bolt closed till the gas pressure drops to a safe level. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Grossfuss_Sturmgewehr" title="Grossfuss Sturmgewehr">Grossfuss Sturmgewehr</a> used the same principle of gas-delayed blowback operation, but it was somewhat more efficient in the use of gas; its bolt weighed 0.8-0.9 kg compared to 1.4 kg in the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr was assembled out of 39 metallic parts, not counting rivets and screws.

At 300 m these the corresponding radii were respectively 25 (9.8") and 50.3 cm (19.8"). </p><p>The 100 meter fixed sights of the Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr made aiming difficult at longer ranges, with the bullet dropping around 84 cm (33 inches) below line of sight at 300 meters, forcing the shooter to aim higher on the target.
