This video showcases a vast collection of firearms, moving chronologically from the early black powder era through WWI. It highlights iconic pieces like the Colt Paterson and Walker, the transition to smokeless powder with bolt-action rifles, and WWI service arms such as the SMLE and Luger P08. The demonstration also features specialized late-war weaponry like trench shotguns, the Maxim heavy machine gun, and the Mauser 13.2mm Tank Gewehr.
The Mauser 1918 Tank Abwehr Gewehr was the world's first purpose-built anti-tank rifle, developed in response to early tank warfare. Chambered in the powerful 13.2mm TuF cartridge, it could penetrate 20mm of armor at 100 yards. Despite its immense power and 41-pound weight, it was produced in large numbers and influenced later designs like the .50 BMG.
