This video delves into the history and specifics of the Hungarian G98/40 rifle, a unique firearm adopted by the German Wehrmacht during World War II. Unlike most substitute rifles, the G98/40 was not a Mauser 98 variant but a Mannlicher system. It was an adaptation of the Hungarian FEG 35M rifle, modified to chamber the German 8x57mm cartridge and accept German accessories like stripper clips, slings, and bayonets. Production spanned from 1941 to 1944, with approximately 148,400 units manufactured. The video highlights its distinctiveness from the K98k and its role as an alternative rifle for the German war effort.

This video examines the rare prototype Hungarian 33M bolt-action rifle, a precursor to the 35M. Developed after Hungary's separation from Austria-Hungary, the 33M aimed to improve upon the M95 carbine's straight-pull bolt, which could be problematic in cold weather. The prototype featured intricate machining and delicate elements like a sliding bolt dust cover and a large oil bottle in the buttstock. While these elaborate features were eventually simplified for the adopted 35M, the 33M represents a significant step in Hungarian small arms development.
