When aiming down the sights, a player can fire as fast as they like, without a noticeable drop in accuracy. While the Aperture Sight makes the recoil more visible, it does not increase it. It is only up to preference, if the player chooses the SVT-40 or the Gewehr 43, as neither, minding attachments, differ much from each other. Many players will be at a stalemate when attempting to find the best rifle. If a Suppressor is attached, the Gewehr 43 will reload using the same animation, as if the whole magazine was emptied, even when there are shots remaining, but this does not increase reload time because the reload is hastened, making it the same speed as without a suppressor.

The Gewehr 43 can also attach a Suppressor instead of a Flash Hider, which offers slightly superior stealth capabilities. Both have the same amount, but the SVT-40 bounces slightly when shooting. Between the two rifles, the Gewehr 43 has slightly less visual recoil. The Gewehr 43 can be unlocked with a Rifle Grenade, however, while the SVT-40 cannot. The gun has rectangular iron sights and is similar in most respects to the Soviet SVT-40. It is a good alternative to the bolt-action Mosin-Nagant and Kar98k. It is frequently used by the Wehrmacht and SS in the Soviet Campaign, and dropped by dead German soldiers during the Soviet Campaign.

The Gewehr 43 is first found in the level, ' Their Land, Their Blood'. Effective at medium to long range.' - Description

Gewehr43 ' German semi-automatic rifle with high accuracy and moderate power. This was presumably done in the interests of balance with the M1 Garand. This means that reload canceling does not work, and that a fast reload is better achieved by emptying the last one or two rounds, similar to how an M1 Garand is reloaded. It is worth noting that, unlike most weapons, the Gewehr 43 reloads quicker from an empty magazine than mid-magazine. In fact, its predictable recoil makes it an easier weapon to use than the MP40 at medium range, which has a tendency to kick erratically. It excels at medium to long ranges, where its semi-automatic fire and 10-round magazine makes it a useful and accurate support weapon from medium range. The Gewehr 43 is the semi-automatic rifle issued to the Wehrmacht. It is not as ubiquitous or powerful shot-for-shot as the Kar 98k, but the volume of fire it is able to put out makes it a good alternate rifle. The recoil is comparable to the M1 Garand. It does, however, have more ammo in its magazine as well as the ability to be reloaded at any time. It is slightly less powerful than the M1 Garand, but is still capable of performing one-shot kills to the head or the chest at any range. The Gewehr 43 is the German equivalent to the American M1A1 and M1 Garand, and the Soviet SVT-40 and is used by the Wehrmacht. The Gewehr 43 first appears in Call of Duty: United Offensive.
