The Energie Gewehr 42, or EG42, rifle was a very early form of energy rifle, used in a very limited form by the Germans in World War II. It was designed by Friedrich von Stauffenburg and some of his colleagues, as part of a secret German wunderwaffe program. It was never deployed, and only three prototypes were uncovered by American OSS operatives, alongside several hundred pages (many of which were partially ruined by fire). The weapons, and the notes, would later form the basis of both the M18 rifle, as well as the AER series of rifles.
