This video examines four different examples of the Mondragon 1908 semiautomatic rifle, the first of its kind adopted by a mainstream military. The description details its design by Manuel Mondragon, manufacture by SIG in Switzerland, and initial adoption by the Mexican Army. The video will showcase a prototype from 1900, a Mexican-issue 1908 with accessories, a WWI-era German rebarreled example in 8mm Mauser, and a SIG-updated unsold rifle. The description highlights the rifle's early reliability issues with Mexican-produced ammunition, though it performed well with European-made rounds.
