The Ottoman Mauser 1893 is a variant of the Spanish 93, chambered in 7.65mm with a 5-round capacity. It features a cock-on-close action, a stiff magazine cutoff, and a V-notch ladder rear sight. While well-balanced, its recoil is noted as stronger than expected, and the necessity of the magazine cutoff is questioned.

It highlights its development from earlier Spanish Mauser models, focusing on improvements like controlled-round feed and extractor designs. The video details its adoption by the Ottoman Empire, its specifications including the 7.65x53mm caliber, and its service in conflicts like WWI, particularly at Gallipoli.
