The MKb 42 (H) (German: Maschinenkarabiner 42 (Haenel), "Machine Carbine 42 (Haenel)") was a prototype developed by C.G. Haenel for the contract of the creation of automatic weapons for the 7.92x33mm Kurz cartridge. Another project for this assignment was the Walther-made MKb 42 (W), but Haenel's design proved to be superior. By July 1942, 50 pre-production MKb 42 (H) rifles had already been submitted for testing, and from November 1942 to April 1943, Haenel produced and supplied about 8,000 new assault rifles which were tested in combat against the Soviet army. Based on the results of these tests, it was decided that the MKb 42 (H) deserves undoubted attention, but required revision; these revisions resulted in the MP 43 / StG 44 series of rifles.
