I finally got a chance to play with one of the new-manufacture semiauto PTR44 rifles this past weekend (though we didn't shoot it - yet). They are gorgeous reproductions - you can see my video review over at Forgotten Weapons:

I have a friend who does weapons familiarization classes for the British military, and he includes a real StG in his demos. If he doesn't describe what it is before the firing, he often gets soldiers asking why they aren't standard issue.
