Does anyone know about this automatic rifle?, This is the only image of it i have seen so far and has some parts missing, One is at the Springfield Armoury Museum. I believe it was under the Paratroop Rifle trials prior to adopting the FG42. It is chambered in the 7.92x57mm round and is gas operated with roller lockers.

And a bullpup design to boot... looks neat.

Unusual muzzle brake. I wonder how effective it would be.

looks kinda clumsy, and would think it would be kind on the shoulder
