This video provides an in-depth evaluation of 1941 Turkish 8mm Mauser ammunition. The analysis covers the historical context of its adoption by Turkey post-WWI, its resemblance to the German 8mm S cartridge, and its common packaging. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to testing the ammunition's performance and safety. The presenter details velocity measurements using a Kar98k rifle, noting an average velocity of 2948 fps and highlighting symptoms of overpressure such as increased recoil and stock damage. Bullet weight analysis shows consistency, with an average of 154.3 grains. The ammunition is identified as having Berdan primers and corrosive properties, and the cases are brass. The video strongly cautions against using this ammunition in semi-automatic firearms due to its reputation for causing damage from increased pressure.
