the G41M is not 1 to 5 but the designation VG 1-5 is simply the designation of this particular weapon (why it is so atypical I have not been able to find out), but the weapon is simply so designated in all sources available to me. I'm sure there were a number of developmental versions but there is not much information on the weapon so it is hard to determine if there were versions with other markings.

The earliest mention is in the article in "Guns and Ammo" from the year 1972, where it writes one of the owners, there is explained where the designations come from, purely theoretically, it can be even a mistake, because 1 to 5 (i.e. 1 - 5) was the designation of the classic rifles with odsuvným conclusion. Clear is not even the order, according to some data, the company Gustloff weapons produced not on the order of the army (Heer) but the order župního of the head (a political boss), which is possible, because the units Volkssturmu were built at the level of provinces (gau), so here is the question of "how it was", it is also possible that the army never the gun had not been implemented and therefore, the label did not..
