The Gewehr 43 is a weapon in Cry of Fear, available since the 1.4 patch update.
Overview
It's only available in Co-op or Suicide mode. Deals slightly less damage than the Hunting Rifle, but compensates this light lack of power with a 10 rounds magazine, making it very useful if you're facing the Sawcrazy, Tallers or being surrounded by many enemies.

Trivia
- The Gewehr 43 (Also known as the Karabiner 43) is a combat rifle developed by Nazi Germany during World War II, with the aim of producing a powerful and reliable rifle that could be mass produced easily, with the aim of improving combat efficiency.
- The G43 is a powerful 7.92x57mm Mauser semi-automatic rifle having muzzle velocity of 776 m/s.
- The rifle had a 10 round magazine, and the gun incorporated the use of gas from the firing of the bullet to open the breech and reload the gun.
- This was simplified over the system in its predecessor, the G41, which was unreliable and prone to fouling.
- The gun fell out of demand after the end of the war.
