This YouTube video focuses on the Steyr M95 rifle, referencing its use in World War 2 and potentially its appearance in video games like Call of Duty and Warzone. The description also includes a variety of broader tags related to firearms, airsoft, airguns, and even seasonal themes, suggesting a potential mix of historical firearm content and popular culture references. The inclusion of terms like 'ASMR' and 'shortsvideo' indicates a possible presentation style, while 'Austria' points to the rifle's origin.

This video delves into the Mannlicher M88/95 rifle, an update created by the Austro-Hungarian Empire during World War I. Facing significant rifle shortages early in the war, they repurposed older M88 and M88/90 pattern rifles, originally designed for black powder cartridges. These were rebarreled with M95 pattern barrels and fitted with new rear sights, creating the M88/95 designation. The video notes that these updated rifles often received upper handguards, though they are frequently missing on examples, especially those imported from Ethiopia. The presented rifle was provided by InterOrdnance and Royal Tiger Imports.

This video delves into the authenticity of Waffen proof stamps on historical firearms, using a well-preserved Steyr M95 rifle as a prime example. The presenter highlights how deep and clear proofs can be a red flag, revealing that such markings were sometimes added in the 1990s. The content extends to demonstrating how to identify real versus fake Nazi Waffen proof stamps on K98 rifles and also examines their presence on P.38 and Luger holsters, offering practical advice for collectors and enthusiasts.

This video showcases the rare WWI Steyr M95 sniper carbine, highlighting its unique features. Unlike most sniper rifles of the era, this carbine was scoped and had its scope offset to the left due to the en bloc clip loading system. The video details the scope manufacturers used (Reichert, Kahles, Suss, Fuess, Oigee), the 3x magnification, and the German post reticle with adjustable range. It also explains the numbering system on the scope bases and rings, which indicated assembly and production sequence. The scarcity of these carbines today is attributed to their limited production and subsequent scrapping after WWI, with many intended as war reparations to Italy but never utilized.

This video delves into the Steyr M30S Prototype, a unique early 1930s Swiss-made rifle developed for Hungarian military trials. The rifle is described as a repurposed Mauser action from an improved World War I German rifle design (Gewehr 98 derivative), adapted to use Hungarian Mannlicher en bloc clips and ammunition. While it featured elements of the never-produced 1917 Mauser improvement like a dust cover (though missing in this prototype), it ultimately lost the competition to a Mannlicher action rifle. The video highlights its historical significance as an evolutionary step in rifle design and a failed contender in military trials.

This video features a range day showcasing the Steyr M95, also known as the Gewehr M95, a rifle manufactured in 1917. The description indicates the presenter is actively shooting this historical firearm.

This video showcases a unique Steyr M95 straight-pull carbine that has been converted into a semi-automatic rifle. The conversion involves adding a gas piston system under the barrel, extending the receiver to accommodate the bolt carrier's travel, and installing a pistol grip to maintain the original trigger group. The rifle still utilizes its original 5-round Mannlicher clips and is chambered in 8x50R. The presenter notes the mechanism's stiffness, preventing disassembly, but describes the conversion as relatively simple for a hobbyist gunsmith. The rifle is part of the Beretta factory museum collection, with its conversion origin unknown.

This video delves into the Swiss Model 1893, a Mannlicher straight-pull cavalry carbine. It explains how the Swiss, after adopting the Vetterli and Schmidt-Rubin straight-pull systems, sought a more compact action for cavalry. The Mannlicher design, similar to the Austrian Steyr M95, was chosen but ultimately proved too complex to disassemble and insufficiently accurate for Swiss service. Only 8,000 were purchased, and the carbine was deemed obsolete by 1905, replaced by a Schmidt-Rubin design. Despite its service issues, the Model 1893 is noted for its high-quality Mannlicher straight-pull construction.

This video delves into the history and development of Hungarian World War II rifles, focusing on the 35M, Gewehr 98/40, and 43M models. It traces their lineage from the post-Austro-Hungarian Empire era, highlighting the transition from the Steyr M95 to the Mannlicher-designed 35M. The description details the modifications made for the Gewehr 98/40 to German specifications, including ammunition and magazine changes, and its subsequent adoption by Hungary as the 43M. The content offers insights into military firearm evolution and specific weapon systems.
