The Gewehr 43 or Karabiner 43 (abbreviated G43, K43, Gew 43, Kar 43) is a 7.92×57mm Mauser caliber semi-automatic rifle developed by Germany during World War II. The design was based on that of the earlier G41 (W) but incorporated an improved short-stroke piston gas system similar to that of the Soviet SVT-40.

In 1943, the gas system on G41 (W) was redesigned after the Russian SVT 40 and became the G43. By early 1944, the G43 was being produced by three factories, Walther (code ac), Berlin-Lubecker Maschinenfabrik (code duv and later qve) and Gustloff-Werke II (code bcd).
