The Walther A115 is a prototype German semi-automatic rifle.
History[]
The A115 was a prototype rifle developed by Walther. It never took off, though the design evolved into the MkB 42(W). Only three rifles were reportedly made; two are known to exist, with one being in the Bundeswehr Military History Museum.
Design Details[]
The rifle is composed of three different parts stuck together using rivets or pins. The rifle uses an odd annular gas piston with a rotating bolt. The receiver is made of stamped steel, and the magazine is also made of stamped steel. The magazine can only be detached when the weapon is disassembled; loading the weapon requires the use of stripper clips.[1]
