PUBG kar98k IN REAL LIFE

This expert-level review details the rare Lithuanian Model 24L Mauser rifle, a variant of the FN Model 30 built on the Mauser 98 action. The video highlights Lithuania's post-WWI military development, their standardization on 8mm Mauser, and the FN contract that supplied these rifles. It covers specific markings, including the 'Pillars of Gediminas' and 'Ginklu Fondas 1937' inscriptions, and discusses the rifle's historical dispersal after Soviet occupation.

This review of the German Gewehr 1898 by C&Rsenal highlights its robust construction and historical significance. The rifle weighs 9 pounds with an overall length of 49.2 inches, chambered in 8mm Mauser. Key features include a fixed double-stack magazine loaded via stripper clips, a smooth cock-and-open bolt action, and a simple Mauser flag safety. While the trigger on the example tested was described as 'muddy' in its second stage, the rifle's manageable recoil and effective sights make it a noteworthy piece of military hardware.

Edwin Sarkissian, an experienced firearms instructor, conducts an in-depth real-world ballistics test of a WWII-era German Mauser Kar98k rifle chambered in 8mm Mauser. The test evaluates the rifle's performance against various materials, including motorcycle helmets, cinder blocks, steel I-beams, ballistic gel, and AR500 steel, demonstrating its historical power and collector value.

The Coenders Bolt-Less Rifle was a desperate late-WWII German prototype for the Volkssturm, featuring a unique forward-sliding barrel action instead of a traditional bolt. Designed by August Coenders for Roechling, it suffered from poor trial performance, including accuracy issues and breakages. Despite its flaws and limited production, it represents an interesting, albeit unsuccessful, attempt to arm militia forces under extreme wartime conditions.

This video showcases the Yugo M48A Mauser rifle and PPU 8mm Mauser ammunition. It demonstrates the process of loading the rifle's internal magazine with individual cartridges and features a live-fire sequence at steel targets in a snowy environment. The presenter highlights safe firearm handling, smooth bolt manipulation, and proper target engagement, showcasing the rifle's bolt action and recoil in both real-time and slow motion.

This video provides a practical overview of the PSL 54 rifle, demonstrating its loading procedure, chambering a round, and live-fire performance. It highlights key markings, including its Romanian origin and Century Arms import, and showcases the functionality of its PSO-style optic. The demonstration, conducted from a benched position, illustrates the rifle's semi-automatic action and recoil characteristics, offering insights for potential owners.

This video tests how many cast iron skillets are needed to stop various bullets, from .22 LR to 500 S&W Magnum. Most common handgun rounds like 9mm and .45 ACP are stopped by two skillets. Rifle rounds like 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm also require two to three skillets, while the powerful 500 S&W Magnum penetrates three and is stopped by the fourth. The .22 LR failed to penetrate even the first skillet.

This video tests the penetration capabilities of a .50 BMG rifle, specifically the Serbu BFG-50A, against a section of railroad track. Various .50 caliber rounds, including Raufoss Mk 211 API and silver tip API, were fired. While the rifle and ammunition demonstrated the ability to penetrate even the thickest parts of the rail (over 1.5 inches), bullet deflection and shifting upon impact with the dense steel were observed.

This video demonstrates launching an M67 fragmentation grenade using an X Products Can Cannon towards a distant frozen lake. The Can Cannon, firing .223 blanks, successfully propels the grenade, which detonates upon impact, creating a visible hole in the ice. The experiment highlights the launcher's capability for extreme projectile delivery in challenging outdoor conditions.

This video tests the destructive power of a .50 caliber spotter round against 1.25-inch thick bulletproof glass, comparing it to a standard FMJ round. The spotter round, designed to spark and flash, created a larger crater and more surface damage than the FMJ round, demonstrating its specialized impact characteristics. The Serbu BFG-50A rifle was used for both tests.
