    Chesapeake Police seized a German assault rifle. Now they want to donate it.

    Don't know if this is the right place for this.

    A Nazi-era rifle confiscated in a hit-and-run case has been sitting in a police evidence vault in Great Bridge for nearly a decade.

    Soon, it may finally find a home among other historic artifacts in Washington.

    Chesapeake Police Department to donate a Sturmgewehr 44 to the Naval History and Heritage Command. The weapon's name means “storm rifle” in German and translates as “assault rifle” in English.

    According to a review of online auction sites, the gun could be worth as much as $30,000. Derivations of the Sturmgewehr were produced in Germany from 1943 to '45, and experts consider it to be the world’s first modern assault rifle. The weapon features a high-capacity, 30-round magazine and a selector button for semi- and fully-automatic firing.

    A childhood friend's dad had an MP-40. He'd bring it out once in a while to impress us kids (it worked). I haven't seen him since I was in high school. Always wondered what happened to that rifle.
