The “Gewehr 43“ is a semi-automatic rifle that is based on the Soviet SVT-40. It is slightly better at long range than the Kar98k and almost twice as good at short range due to its greater rate of fire. It is also slightly cheaper to upgrade than the MG42, making it a viable option if you have a lot of Grenadiers. G43s are also much better at shooting on the move (only 20% penalty instead of 50%) allowing your Grenadiers to stay mobile while also dealing decent damage which also makes them much more potent at wiping Squads on retreat.
