I've even been on one of the firing points at Bisley ranges next to a guy with one of the SSD Stg.44 repro's

While not the same as semi, its better than nothing.
Does straight pull mean manual bolt action? Yeah, not as cool but I'd take a Garand like that. Still quick load 8 rounds enbloc clips I assume.
