The Zf.Ger.38 is a machine gun of German origin. The weapon is a blank firing training weapon also used for static defence.[1] When the Allies examined the weapons discovered in the German Reich after World War II, they came across a device which was classified as a “spring gun” or “trip wire activated static defense machine gun”. It was a practice device with the name “Zielfeuergerät 38″.
