You gotta really stretch to call the GW98 a forgotten weapon! While I've watched a lot of these videos the guy just rambles around digressing in all different directions getting halfway into an interesting topic then saying "But I'll cover that in another video ". He either needs a script or less drugs. Cheers! |

Not forgotten by us and gun collectors but if you took a poll on the street and asked "What rifle did the Germans carry in WW1?" The breakdown would probably be:
GEW98 1%
98k 5% (yes wrong)
Mauser 25%
Don't know 50%
World War what? 19% |

If you took a poll on the street most would not even know what a Mauser 98 was !  |

Thought the Germans did put a new rear sight on it in 1916. |
