The Zielgerat "Vampir" 1299

At the end of the war the Wehrmacht came out with an interesting idea. The Zielgerat 1229 (ZG1229) also called Vampir. Basically it was an MP44 adaptation for night shooting. The gun was mounted with an infra-red sight connected to 30 pounds battery backpack.

The grenadier carrying it was known as Nachtjager (night-hunter).
