This video delves into the Mauser Gewehr 41(M) semiautomatic rifle, exploring its development and its place in German military trials during the late 1930s. The description highlights the strict requirements set by the German military, including the absence of gas ports or recoiling barrels, a clean action top, and manual bolt operation akin to a Mauser bolt-action rifle. It contrasts the Mauser Gewehr 41(M), which adhered to these stringent rules, with the Walther rifle that ultimately won the competition by deviating from some of these requirements, leading to the Gewehr 43. The video focuses on Mauser's commitment to the original specifications, even at the cost of winning the contract.
